U.S. President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week as part of a trip to Asia, the White House said on Thursday, confirming the meeting which had been called into question following an escalation in trade tensions.

President Trump is flying to Asia for a six-day trip where he is expected to meet with China for trade deal negotiations.

Trade talks between U.S. and Chinese officials began earlier this morning in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. President Trump is traveling to the city as part of a five-day visit to Asia, where he is set to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping on Thursday.
