Chinese officials are identifying international travel dates on President Donald Trump's calendar that might offer potential for a Trump Xi trade summit, and Japan has risen to the top of the list, according to three sources.
As the U.S. and China work through the final stages of trade negotiations, Chinese officials are identifying international travel dates on President Donald Trump's calendar that might offer potential for a summit off of U.S. soil, according to three sources briefed on negotiations.
Neither the White House nor the Embassy of Japan would confirm the trip, in which Trump would be the first foreign leader received by Crown Prince Naruhito after he accedes to the throne on May 1. "I would say we'll know over the next four weeks," Trump told reporters gathered in the Oval Office on April 5 for an event with the Chinese vice premier."It may take two weeks after that to get it papered, but over the next fairly short period of time, we're going to know."
Erin Ennis, senior vice president at the US-China Business Council, suggested a later June meeting – perhaps on the sidelines of the G20 at the end of the month – would be more feasible.
