Escalation: Trump Invites Xi to White House in September
President Donald Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House for a visit on September 24. He made the invitation during a state dinner in Beijing, in a toast at the Great Hall of the People. The invitation also included Xi’s wife, Peng Liyuan.
The move set a firm date for a Washington follow-up to the Beijing summit. By Friday, China had not confirmed the September 24 visit, though the foreign minister said Xi would come in the autumn.
