Trump Open to Meeting Xi in China Amid Truce

Following a 90-day truce in the US-China trade war, both countries have significantly reduced tariffs, leading to optimism in global markets. Former President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to visit President Xi Jinping in China during a Fox News interview, aiming to discuss further economic cooperation and foreign policy. He also highlighted his recent Middle East trip, which sought to prevent key nations from aligning with China, emphasizing the broader strategic dimensions of US foreign policy. The announcement has contributed to rises in US equities and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Renewed engagement between Trump and Xi is viewed as an opportunity to address domestic economic challenges and avoid escalation into a prolonged rivalry. Both leaders are under pressure to act quickly to maintain the current momentum and prevent a return to heightened tensions.
