March 26, Kathmandu – The dates for US President Donald Trump’s visit to China have been finalized. Trump is scheduled to visit China on May 14 and 15, corresponding to the Nepali calendar dates of Baishakh 31 and Jestha 1, 2083.

During this visit, US President Trump is set to hold talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. This long-awaited meeting will take place in Beijing on May 14 and 15, according to information released by the White House on Wednesday, as reported by Reuters.

The China visit, initially expected at the end of March or early April, has been postponed by nearly six weeks. Trump had indicated that due to ongoing conflict with Iran, the talks would be delayed by about a month.

Trump Describes Meeting with Xi as ‘Important and Historic’

Following a press conference on Wednesday, Trump conveyed via the social media platform Truth Social that the US delegation is making final preparations for the ‘historic’ trip. He expressed confidence that his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping would be both ‘important and historic.’

According to the Trump administration, the military conflict initiated by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28 may continue for several more weeks.

When questioned about this, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the war with Iran is expected to last between four to six weeks, and President Trump’s China visit schedule was adjusted accordingly.

Meanwhile, during his visit to China, Trump is also expected to invite President Xi to visit the United States.

According to White House Press Secretary Leavitt, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will invite Chinese President Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan to visit Washington, D.C. later this year. The exact dates for this visit will be determined in the future.
