China Trump brings up meeting with Xi in the USA
US President Donald Trump has brought a visit to the USA by Chinese President Xi Jinping into play without giving any concrete details. Speaking on the sidelines of a summit in Malaysia, the Republican first spoke of his planned meeting with Xi on Thursday in South Korea. "I think we will make a good deal with China," he said about the ongoing trade conflict.

Trump then mentioned his previously announced plans for a visit to China early next year and then, without mentioning Xi's name again, added a possible meeting in the USA. The US President mentioned Washington or Mar-a-Lago Palm Beach - Trump's golf estate in Florida - as possible locations. Trump did not provide any further information as to whether there are already concrete plans for such a meeting or whether it was an unarranged advance, nor did he specify a possible date. The German Press Agency asked the Chinese Foreign Ministry for a statement.
It would not be the first time that Xi has traveled to the USA. China's president visited Mar-a-Lago in 2017 during Trump's first term in office. In 2015, then US President Barack Obama received Xi at the White House.
