President Donald Trump's arrival in Beijing via Air Force One on May 13 has locked in trader consensus at 100% probability for a China visit on that date, following the Chinese foreign ministry's May 11 confirmation of his state visit from May 13 to 15 for a summit with Xi Jinping. This high-stakes diplomacy addresses trade, Iran tensions, and Taiwan arms sales amid U.S. sanctions on Chinese refineries buying Iranian oil. Advance U.S. military logistics, including a C-17 transport last week, underscored preparations. While the multi-day itinerary extends through May 15, the confirmed landing cements today's outcome; only an extraordinary cancellation due to health, security threats, or diplomatic rupture could shift odds at this stage.
