The White House has confirmed that US President Donald Trump will visit China from March 31 to April 2, in a high-stakes trip that comes as uncertainty looms over US tariff policy.
The visit is expected to focus on trade ties, economic cooperation and strategic competition between the world’s two largest economies. It also takes place against the backdrop of a recent US Supreme Court ruling that struck down Trump-era tariffs imposed under emergency powers, adding a layer of complexity to the diplomatic engagement.
Officials said the China trip aims to stabilise relations and address long-standing trade imbalances, supply chain concerns and market access issues. The visit will include meetings with senior Chinese leadership, though specific details of the itinerary have not yet been made public.
Trade has remained a central issue in US-China relations, particularly after sweeping tariffs imposed during Trump’s presidency reshaped global supply chains and heightened tensions. The Supreme Court’s decision questioning the legality of those tariffs has reignited debate over executive authority in trade matters.
As both Washington and Beijing seek to manage economic friction while navigating broader geopolitical tensions. The visit is expected to draw close international attention given its implications for global markets and bilateral relations.
