Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are set to meet tomorrow, thursday April 4th, 2017. Xi Jinping will be flying tomorrow to Florida to stay at Donald Trump’s resort, Mar-a-Lago. Many predictions have been circling around in the media as to which way this meeting might go and how it will affect future relations between the United States and China. Even Donald Trump has gone to social media much to people’s surprise to give his take on how he expects things to go. Not even Donald Trump himself is confident that things will end well for he tweeted, “The meeting next week with China will be a very difficult one in that we can no longer have massive trade deficits”.
Many experts claim that it is very crucial that the United States continues to keep a good relationship when it comes to trading with China. However, that relationship may be strained with Donald Trump’s recent executive orders. Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang responded to Donald Trump’s executive orders stating “China will continue to work with the United States to think creatively and keep pushing for greater balance in China-U.S. trade”. China is clearly trying to keep the peace but with Donald J. Trump as our President that may not be possible. But we will simply have to wait and see how these two very different people from two very different worlds negotiate.
