Trump Arrives in China on third Leg of 5-Asian-Nation Tour

Beijing (November 8, 2017): US President Donald Trump has arrived in China on the third leg of his five-Asian-Nation tour.

This is President Trump’s first official visit to China amid regional tensions on trade and North Korea.

Trump landed in Beijing from South Korea earlier today.

President Trump is scheduled to meet multiple times with China’s President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) during the two-day visit.

President Xi will be throwing a lavish welcoming ceremony to his US counterpart with the tour of the Forbidden City, home to China’s ancient imperial palaces, thrown in. The visit comes hours after Trump addressed South Korea’s National Assembly and pressured China to stop supporting North Korea.

Trump made equalizing trade with China a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. But he has signaled that he may ease up in exchange for China’s help with North Korea.

China is the third stop on Trump’s Asia tour. The trip opened in Japan.
