Beijing: Kim Jong-un to Meet with President Xi as U.S.-China Trade Talks Underway
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is in China for a 3-day trip, his fourth
visit to the country over the past year. Few details of his trip have
been released, but he is expected to hold talks with Chinese President
Xi Jinping over trade and the possible upcoming nuclear summit with the
United States. Kim's visit comes as U.S. and Chinese officials are
holding trade talks in hopes of ending the ongoing trade war between the
two countries. In December, President Trump and Chinese President Xi
Jinping agreed to a temporary truce, which is due to expire in March.
