Trump to make three-day visit to China next month amid trade tensions
Trump aims to extend the October trade truce, address tariffs, soybean purchases, and regional security including Taiwan during his first China visit since 2017, officials said.

- Trade talks will center on whether to extend the trade truce that paused tariffs escalation, with agriculture and soybean purchases key as Xi said he would consider increasing them.
- The Taiwan issue frames much of the security tension as Beijing raised US arms sales to Taiwan during the February call, and Washington approved a US$11.1 billion package in December.
- Building on their October talks, the visit aims to cement prior concessions where Trump agreed to trim tariffs for China to crack down on illicit fentanyl trade, resume soybean purchases, and keep rare earths exports flowing amid recent tariff and tech easing.
- Observers say the visit combines cooperation on trade and tech with ongoing strategic tensions, and Trump told foreign leaders on Thursday `That's going to be a wild one`, signaling high expectations for the late-March trip to Beijing.
