U.S. President Donald Trump will make an official visit to China from March 31 to April 2, 2026. The White House confirmed this on Friday, ending weeks of speculation about the timing of this key diplomatic event. The main destination will be Beijing, where the American leader will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Talks will primarily focus on tense trade relations and security issues in the Taiwan region.

Summit Date Confirmed

The visit of Donald Trump to Beijing will take place from March 31 to April 2, 2026.

Trade Tensions on the Agenda

Leaders will discuss the future of tariffs and trade relations following recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Taiwan Issue

An important element of talks with Xi Jinping will be rising tensions in the Taiwan region.

G20 in Miami and Asheville

The U.S. will host the G20 summit in December in Miami and a meeting of finance ministers in late August and September.

The White House officially announced that Donald Trump will visit China from March 31 to April 2, 2026. This marks the first trip by an American leader to the Middle Kingdom since 2017, giving the event historic significance. Trump himself described the upcoming meeting as a "crazy event" and predicted it would be the greatest spectacle in the history of U.S.-China relations. The main goal of the visit to Beijing is a direct meeting with Xi Jinping. Negotiations will take place against the backdrop of serious economic disputes. The Bloomberg agency notes that the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn part of the tariffs on Chinese exports has significantly complicated the pre-summit situation. Both leaders will seek to reach an agreement that could extend the fragile trade stability between the world's two largest economies. In addition to the economy, pressing geopolitical issues, including rising tensions around Taiwan, will also be on the agenda. U.S.-China relations have oscillated between cooperation and rivalry for decades, but since 2018, both powers have been embroiled in cyclical trade wars that affect global supply chains and financial markets. Parallel to the announcement of the trip to China, the U.S. Department of the Treasury informed about other significant international events planned for 2026. In August and September, a meeting of G20 finance ministers will take place in Asheville. Meanwhile, the December G20 leaders' summit is scheduled for Miami, at the president's Trump National Doral resort. The intense diplomatic calendar indicates the administration's drive to redefine the U.S. position in the architecture of global trade and security. „It will be a crazy event and the greatest spectacle in the history of relations with China.” — Donald Trump
