Trump Signals Shift in Planned Meeting with China’s Xi Jinping

The U.S. President says various countermeasures on China are being considered and sees no reason to meet Xi as previously planned.

Fact Check
The evidence chronologically documents a shift in Trump's position. In February 2025, an Al Jazeera article reported he was in 'no hurry' to speak with Xi. However, by late March, multiple sources (NBC, CNBC) reported he planned to meet with Xi 'in the near term.' This change from reluctance to active planning constitutes a clear shift.
