Trump to Visit China May 13-15 for Iran, Trade Talks

US President Donald Trump will make a state visit to China from May 13-15, 2026, following an invitation from President Xi Jinping. This marks the first visit by a US president to China since 2017 and was originally scheduled for late March/early April but postponed due to the Iran war. Washington and Beijing have been at loggerheads over trade tariffs, Middle East conflicts, and Taiwan, with Trump expected to push China on Iran while seeking to ease trade tensions. China remains a key customer for Iranian oil through independent refineries, making Iran relations central to discussions. The visit will feature significant pomp and ceremony, including a Temple of Heaven tour and state banquet in Beijing.
