Trump says he will visit China ‘early next year’

Trump, the president of the United States, has announced that he will travel to China early next year following a request from Beijing.

“I’ve been given a request to visit China, and I’ll do that at some point in the year.” Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday, “We have it sort of set.”

Despite a recent tariff dispute, the US President added that he anticipated signing a “fair” trade agreement with South Korean President Xi Jinping later this month.

He disputed a previous Pentagon assessment that China was planning to seize Taiwan in 2027, saying that he believed in his relationship with his counterpart Xi.

“I believe China will work just fine with us.” He met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and he said, “China doesn’t want to do that.”

Trump acknowledged that China was planning an invasion of Taiwan, calling it “the most important country in the world by far,” but he added that Taiwan would not be deterred from doing so.

No one will mess with Trump’s claim that “we have the best of everything.”

He declined to respond to a question about whether he would abandon Taiwan’s support under the terms of a deal with Xi.
