President Trump is scheduled to visit China in April 2026 for a summit with President Xi Jinping. While Trump anticipates a grand display, tensions surrounding trade, Taiwan, and technology could create friction. China aims to project an image of successfully managing the U.S. despite trade disputes. The exact dates and locations of the talks are yet to be released by the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision against parts of Trump's tariffs may also impact his bargaining power during the meeting.
