US President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied seeking a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, amidst ongoing trade negotiations between the two countries.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he may visit China only at Xi's invitation, which has already been extended.

"The Fake News is reporting that I am SEEKING a "Summit" with President Xi of China. This is not correct, I am not SEEKING anything! I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended. Otherwise, no interest! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump said.
