U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing for a significant visit to China, scheduled from March 31 to April 2. The trip comes at a crucial moment, as the U.S. Supreme Court has recently overturned numerous tariffs imposed by Trump, marking a pivotal turn in the international trade landscape.

The Supreme Court's decision has introduced fresh challenges in the already complex U.S.-China relations. Trump's tariffs, originally set under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were recently deemed as an overreach, which has now led to questions about the future of the fragile trade truce between the two superpowers.

Tensions continue to simmer, with critical issues such as trade imbalances and the contentious status of Taiwan at the centre of discussions. The upcoming talks between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be their first since the leaders met in South Korea in October, aiming to further stabilize their bilateral relationship.
