Trump says China's Xi is 'very happy' about Strait of Hormuz reopening

The trip was postponed from March and would be the first visit by a sitting U.S. president to China in 10 years.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that President Xi is "very happy" regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, calling their upcoming meeting potentially "Historic."
  • Originally scheduled for March, the visit was postponed due to the US-Israel-Iran war in the Middle East, marking the first time in 10 years a sitting American president has visited China.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Trump will visit China on May 14 and 15, though the Chinese side has not confirmed the dates, as the trip aims to improve ties affected by trade frictions.
  • Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian noted Washington and Beijing are communicating, emphasizing that "leader-level diplomacy" will guide "irreplaceable strategic" ties, while Trump expects "much will be accomplished" during the meeting.
  • The Global Times stated both nations stand to gain from cooperation, noting that a lack of people-to-people exchanges is the "root cause" of current tensions and emphasizing consistent, stable, and predictable policy.
