Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, confirmed that President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States in September remains on schedule, despite President Donald Trump reviving allegations of Chinese interference in US elections. Rubio said ahead of the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in Manila that the Chinese team is still coordinating and preparing for the trip, and there is no information indicating any changes. Trump's claim that China stole data on over 220 million voters in the 2020 election was previously rejected by US intelligence agencies as lacking evidence. Xi Jinping's visit is seen as part of efforts to restore relations and maintain the trade truce agreement between the two countries.
