Chinese President Xi Jinping will reportedly skip a planned stop in New York to address the United Nations General Assembly during a U.S. trip next month. Bloomberg and Politico, as cited by a separate report, say the decision means Xi will not attend the UNGA session in connection with his visit to meet U.S. President Donald Trump.
The reports frame the move as part of Xi’s broader itinerary, which includes travel to the United States for the Trump meeting. They do not provide details on what replaces the New York component or how the agenda changes will be handled. Neither account specifies whether the UNGA address was canceled or whether it had been only a tentative plan. As of the reports, the remaining emphasis of the trip is the bilateral meeting between the two leaders.
