US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for meeting with President Xi Jinping.
The trip comes as each side seeks to manage its most consequential relationship, in a moment when Trump is struggling politically because of his decision to attack Iran in February.
“We’re going to be talking with President Xi [Jinping] about a lot of different things. I would say more than anything else will be trade,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday before leaving Washington.
“We’re the strongest nation on Earth in terms of military. China’s considered second, who knows,” he said. “I have a great relationship with President Xi, and I think it’s going to remain that way. We have a lot of things to discuss.”
