President Trump Heads to Asia for High-Stakes Meeting with China’s Xi Jinping.

United States President Donald Trump is set to embark on a major trip to Asia this week, with all eyes on an expected meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping that has huge implications for the global economy.

Trump said he was making a big trip to Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, his first visit to the region since he returned to the White House in a blaze of tariffs and geopolitical brinkmanship.

But Trump has made it clear he hopes to seal a good deal with China and end a bitter trade war between the world’s two largest economies that has caused global shockwaves.
