U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2, Reuters reported citing an official.
Trump's last trip to China, in 2017, was the most recent by a U.S. president.
Beijing has not yet confirmed the trip.
According to Reuters, a White House official confirmed the trip on Friday, just before the highest U.S. court struck down Trump’s sweeping global tariffs.
Trump's talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on an extended visit to Beijing had been expected to revolve around extending a trade truce that kept both countries from further hiking tariffs.
"That's going to be a wild one," Trump told foreign leaders visiting Washington on Thursday about the upcoming China visit. "We have to put on the biggest display you've ever had in the history of China."
