US President Donald Trump on Monday said his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, would visit Washington in the “not too distant future” following recent reports that the leaders were considering a summit as early as April amid their countries’ tit-for-tat tariffs dispute.
Trump made the comment while discussing beautification efforts in the American capital during a board meeting at the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts of which he assumed the role of chairman last month after firing the previous board members appointed by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
