President Donald Trump said Chinese leader Xi Jinping would visit Washington soon, as trade tensions build between the world’s two largest economies.

Xi will be coming in the “not too distant future,” Trump said Monday while attending a board meeting at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as he touted a string of recent visits by leaders from India, France, the UK and Ireland.
