US President Donald Trump will visit China from May 13 to 15, marking the first visit by a US president in nearly nine years. This trip, initiated by an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping, comes at a time of heightened tensions over various global issues, including the ongoing conflict in West Asia and the US-China relationship regarding Taiwan. During his visit, Trump is scheduled to participate in a welcome ceremony, a bilateral meeting with Xi, and a state banquet. The two leaders will also engage in discussions about trade, with hopes for a potential deal following the imposition of steep tariffs by the US. Additionally, both nations are expected to address the Iran conflict, as China is a significant buyer of Iranian oil and opposes US sanctions affecting its energy supplies. The visit is seen as symbolically significant, particularly as it coincides with the backdrop of the US Supreme Court's ruling that invalidated some of Trump's tariff policies. Experts suggest that while Trump is eager for this meeting, Xi appears more comfortable given China's current economic performance despite trade tensions.
