WASHINGTON, March 25 (Yonhap) -- The White House said Wednesday that a long-awaited summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will take place in Beijing on May 14-15, after it was postponed because of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the announcement during a press briefing, as Washington seeks to address a series of issues with Beijing, including trade in agricultural products and critical minerals, to name a few.

"I'm pleased to announce that President Trump's meeting and a long-awaited meeting with President Xi in China will now take place in Beijing on May 14th and 15th," Leavitt said.

"First Lady Melania and President Trump will also host President Xi and Madam Peng for a reciprocal visit in Washington, D.C. at a later date to be announced this year," she added.
