US Finance Minister Scott Bessent previously announced that Trump and Xi may meet up to four times in 2026: during Trump's visit to Beijing in April, Xi's possible summer visit to Washington or at Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago in Florida, and during the G20 summit in Miami.

“Excellent” conversation between the leaders of the US and China
Last week, the leaders of the US and China held a telephone conversation that Trump described as “excellent.” Trump said it concerned, among other things, Taiwan, the war in Ukraine and the situation with Iran. Xi emphasized that Taiwan remains the “most important issue” in the relations between the two powers.
The conversation took place at a time of relative calming in contacts after last year's trade tensions, which were initially resolved during the October leaders' meeting in South Korea.
