Trump reportedly wants to visit China again after he takes office
President-elect Trump is considering the idea of visiting China once again during his presidency, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Despite his previous threats of imposing tariffs on China, Trump has expressed his desire to strengthen relations with the country through this potential visit. Sources familiar with the matter have revealed that Trump is contemplating a trip to China within his first 100 days in office.
In a recent phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump expressed optimism about the future of US-China relations. He took to Truth Social to share his thoughts on the call, stating, “It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately. We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects. President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe.”
While Trump did not explicitly mention plans for a visit during the call, reports suggest that it is a possibility. The Trump transition team has yet to provide any official comment on the matter. Additionally, there is speculation that Xi could also visit the White House as part of the diplomatic exchange.
In a historic move, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will be attending Trump’s inauguration, making him the first senior Chinese official to do so. Trump and Xi are said to be working towards establishing a strategic communication channel, with China confirming that Trump expressed eagerness to meet with Xi in person at the earliest opportunity.
In addition to a potential visit to China, Trump has also reportedly discussed the idea of traveling to India with his aides. These developments indicate a shift towards diplomacy and international engagement in the early days of Trump’s presidency. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story.
