U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi in Hawaii, trying to ease tensions between the world's two largest economies over various issues, according to media reports.
Pompeo was planning the trip "quietly" and the arrangements were not yet finalized, Politico said.
