U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was not seeking a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but added that he may visit China at Xi's invitation, which Trump said had been extended.

President Trump has revealed that he may jet over to China in the near future, but rebuffed suggestions that he is seeking a summit with Beijing counterpart Xi Jinping amid intense trade negotiations between the two economic superpowers.

President Trump said that he is not looking for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, pushing back on reporting that the tariff talks this week could set the groundwork for a meeting with his counterpart.
