US President Donald Trump may visit China in April to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Details: The newspaper writes that Trump is focused on making a deal with Beijing.
“The presidents of both countries would like the other side to visit to present it as a diplomatic triumph but initial discussions have been around Trump visiting China, according to sources.
It is unclear how far discussions about a potential trip have progressed,” the article says.
Background:
- In mid-February, Trump said that he wanted to meet with Xi Jinping and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to discuss defence spending cuts.
- On 4 March, Trump imposed new trade restrictions, raising tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico to 25% and on Chinese goods to 20%, a decision that will affect imports of about $1.5 trillion a year.
