US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Xi Jinping’s trip to the United States is expected in September, made prior to his departure for ASEAN foreign ministers meetings in Manila. Donald Trump accused China of stealing 220 million voter files in the 2020 election, a claim previously rejected by US intelligence agencies, while a 2025 trade truce and multiple Trump-Xi meetings remain scheduled. Rubio’s comments occur alongside the revival of 90-day visa restrictions on Chinese journalists originally imposed in Trump’s first term and later reversed by Biden.
