WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday (March 17) suggested that Chinese President Xi Jinping may visit the United States "in the not-too-distant future" for talks as economic tensions escalate between the powers.
Trump has slapped 20 per cent levies on all imports from China since taking office in January, faulting Beijing for not halting the flow of chemicals used to make illegal fentanyl, a leading cause of US drug overdose deaths.
