Trump is considering a visit to China in April to discuss a potential trade deal with President Xi Jinping, SCMP reports. The meeting's location remains undecided, with Trump favoring Mar-a-Lago and Beijing preferring a formal venue. Since January, Trump has doubled tariffs on Chinese imports, prompting retaliatory measures from China. Trade tensions, ongoing since 2018, continue to disrupt global markets. With mounting pressure on both sides, a high-stakes negotiation looms. Will this visit ease tensions or escalate the trade war further?
