U.S. President Donald Trump will visit China in May for a summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The U.S.-China summit was originally scheduled for the end of March, but the United States requested a postponement from China due to the war in Iran.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced in a briefing on the 25th (local time), "We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited meeting between President Trump and President Xi is scheduled for May 14-15."

Levitt added, "President Trump and First Lady Melania will also host a return visit by President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, in Washington, D.C. at a date to be announced later this year."

President Trump's visit to China was originally planned for March 31 to April 2. However, on the 16th, the White House stated that it had requested about a one-month delay from China. This was because President Trump, along with Israel, launched airstrikes against Iran, and the war has lasted longer than initially expected.

Since then, the two countries have been in discussions to reschedule the summit, and the meeting has been pushed back by about a month and a half from the original plan.
