China trip will go ahead as planned – and it will be amazing, Trump insists

When asked about the trip to Beijing, Trump told reporters on Friday: “It is going to be amazing. The visit with China and Chairman Xi [Jinping] – that’s going to be great.

“We have the trip with China coming up. And I think it will be an amazing event.”

Trump had initially planned to visit Beijing in late March, but put the trip back to May 14 and 15 after starting the war against Iran.

Chinese analysts said the trip would be crucial for the two countries to manage risks in the face of rising uncertainty worldwide.

Iran has passed a new proposal for a second round of peace talks with the US to Pakistani mediators, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency, which did not give details of the plan.
