Beijing officially confirmed Donald Trump’s May 13-15 state visit to China,
marking the first US presidential trip there in nearly a decade despite tensions
over the Iran war. Trump, who last visited in 2017, will meet Xi Jinping after
the summit was previously delayed by the conflict. China had hesitated to
proceed as the war entered its third month. The visit comes amid a fragile Iran
ceasefire and rising US-China tensions, as Washington struggles to end a
conflict that has triggered a global energy crisis.
