South China Morning Post reported today: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio will accompany President Trump on his visit to China."
According to today's report by the South China Morning Post, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to accompany President Trump on a visit to China later this month. This will be Rubio's first visit to China since taking office as secretary of state, and the trip has attracted much attention due to his previous sanctions by China.
Rubio is the first U.S. secretary of state to be sanctioned by China while in office. In 2020, China imposed sanctions on him twice over his performance on issues such as Xinjiang and Hong Kong. China has not yet clearly stated whether it will lift the sanctions, and Rubio's response last month was: "I'll know when I actually go."
Insiders said that Rubio had shown little interest in visiting China in the past, but his attitude has changed now in order to support Trump's diplomatic strategy and this key meeting.
The White House said that Trump's visit to China is tentatively scheduled for March 31 to April 2. If it goes ahead, it will be Trump's first visit to China since 2017.
