U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s not actively pursuing a summit with Xi Jinping but confirmed that he may visit China later this year, following an invitation from the Chinese leader.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended. Otherwise, no interest!"
Sources previously told Reuters that aides to both leaders have discussed a potential meeting during a trip by Trump to Asia later this year.
