Donald Trump to meet Xi Jinping as president sparks WW3 fears – ‘we have more nukes’ | World | News

US President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, it has been confirmed, as the White House chief sends a chilling nuclear warning to Beijing.

The two leaders will meet in South Korea next week as part of a trip to Asia, the White House said on Thursday.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump will first head to Malaysia on Friday night before flying to South Korea to meet with Xi.

It comes after Mr Trump said on Wednesday that the US has “more nuclear weapons” than China.

He added, however, that he hopes to make deals with China on “everything.”

Mr Trump continued: “We’ll make a deal on, I think, everything.

“We have the most nuclear weapons. Russia is second. China is actually third by a long way, but we’ll be even within four or five years.

“We are talking about de-escalation. It’s already being talked about, and I think we’ll probably add China into the mix
