AI Summary

short article 1 min

Uncertainty surrounds a potential trip to China by former U.S. President Donald Trump, expected to begin March 31st. This follows recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, a key Chinese partner, which China criticized. While not directly confirming or denying the trip's status, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that high-level exchanges are planned and emphasized the importance of thorough preparations and managing differences. China has not formally confirmed the visit, but has acknowledged communication with the U.S. regarding the matter. Wang Yi stressed China's positive and open attitude, urging the U.S. to work in the same direction to foster cooperation and minimize problems in the relationship. If it occurs, this would be the first visit to China by an American leader in nine years.
