US President Trump said he expects to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping around September 24. The meeting could coincide with the United Nations General Assembly in New York that month. On the 6th, Trump mentioned President Xi's visit to the US at an event about the construction of a large banquet hall at the White House, citing the possibility of the visit as a reason for the construction. This is the first time he has mentioned a specific date, and it would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since they met in Beijing in May this year.
