China's Xi to meet Trump in Mar-a-Lago
BEIJING -- China says President Xi Jinping will meet his US counterpart Donald Trump at the latter's Florida resort on April 6-7.
It will be the first in-person meeting between the two. Trump sharply criticized China during his presidential campaign for what he described as unfair Chinese trade practices. He is now seeking Beijing's help in pressuring North Korea over its nuclear weapons and missiles programs.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters Thursday that Xi would attend the China-U.S. presidents' meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
