US President Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to ⁠April 2 for talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, the White House has announced.

The summit between Trump and Xi, the leaders of the world’s two biggest economies, will be watched closely, particularly in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

Observers noted that the court’s decision could leave Trump with less leverage against China during negotiations and might give a fresh lift to trade.

The trip will be Trump’s first visit to China since coming to office for a second time – his previous trip to the country was in November 2017 during his first term.
