PoliticsAhead of Xi’s US visit, three strategic battles over China in Washington

As Xi Jinping prepares to visit the United States, President Trump says he looks forward to meeting Xi and Peng Liyuan and describes their relationship as very good. White House officials say Trump will personally greet Xi and hold a welcoming ceremony. The two sides are expected to hold important talks. Trump’s administration had raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% before the countries temporarily reduced them and maintained a trade truce.
