Trump says he'll visit China in April

President Trump said Monday that he'd accepted an invitation from President Xi Jinping to visit Beijing in April. He added that he'd invited the Chinese leader for a state visit later in 2026.

Why it matters: Both leaders have an interest in maintaining an equilibrium in the relationship after last month's trade truce. But with Xi ramping up his rhetoric on taking Taiwan — and with trade disputes in areas like mineral and chip exports still not fully resolved — there's always a lot at stake when the world's two most powerful leaders meet.
