Trump To Meet Xi In Beijing In April, Tariffs And Taiwan Could Be Discussed

US President Donald Trump is all set to visit China between March 21, 2026, and April 2, 2026, and hold a highly watched meeting with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

The announcement of the visit was marred by US Supreme Court’s order upending Trump’s sweeping tariffs on imports from several nations, including China.

The White House confirmed Trump’s visit to Beijing and the summit meeting with Xi, as the leaders of the world’s two largest economies would try to navigate the economic minefield of a global trade war.

The US Supreme Court had just tripped Trump’s tariffs on imports in a majority decision, including those he weaponised against China in recent months.

At the Board of Peace launch event on Thursday (February 19, 2026), Trump said, “I have a very good relationship with President Xi. I’m going to China in April. That’s going to be a wild one.”

“Last time I went to China, President Xi treated me so well. He gave me a display. I never saw so many soldiers all the same height, exactly the same height. I said, if they put their helmets down, you could have played pool on the top of their heads. And it was pretty amazing…,” Trump said.

On the other hand, the Chinese embassy in Washington refused to comment on the April schedule of Trump’s visit to Beijing, and so was the Chinese government in Beijing.

However, media reports on the proposed visit swirled around on the likely issues of discussions during the talks between the leaders of the two largest economies of the world, including extending a trade war truce between the two nations.

Taiwan, a contentious issue between the US and China, too would come up during the talks, these reports claimed. China has always maintained that Taiwan was its own territory and no discussion on the issue could be held on its integration with the mainland China, though Taipei rejects such a Chinese description of the self-governed territory.
