US President Donald Trump on Tuesday embarked on a visit to China for a meeting with President Xi Jinping to discuss smoothing trade relations rocked by tit-for-tat tariffs, APA reports.
"We're going to be talking with President Xi about a lot of different things. I would say more than anything else, it'll be trade," Trump told reporters at the White House as he headed to China.
"He's been a friend of mine. He's been somebody that we get along with... this is going to be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are going to happen," Trump said about his meeting with the Chinese President.
Accompanying Trump on Air Force One are Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Eric Trump and Laura Trump, among others.
