President Trump says Iran’s response to peace plan is ‘totally unacceptable’
President Trump said Iran’s response to a potential peace plan was “totally unacceptable.”
- President Trump will visit China on May 14th and 15th.
- The visit was originally scheduled for April but was postponed due to the Iran war.
President Donald Trump is heading to China this week to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In November, President Trump announced that he had accepted an invitation to visit China in April, but the visit was postponed as the Iran war became a priority in U.S. foreign policy.
According to Reuters, this is the first visit to China by a sitting US president since Trump in 2017. In President Trump’s first year in office, China and the United States retaliated with a tariff and trade war. China obtains about 60% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz, so the Iran war is expected to be a topic of discussion during the visit.
This is one of several overseas trips President Trump has made since returning to office in January 2025. Here’s what you need to know:
When will Trump go to China?
President Trump is scheduled to arrive in Beijing, China, on the evening of May 13, local time, and in the United States on Wednesday morning. During the two days following his arrival, he will participate in bilateral talks with President Xi, a state dinner, and a working lunch. President Trump is scheduled to depart on Friday afternoon, May 15 local time.
Where else has President Trump gone this term?
President Trump’s first overseas trip in his second term was to the Middle East. Since then, he has made several other trips, including visits to the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the Vatican City.
