Afghanistan, Sept. 14 -- China invited U.S. President Donald Trump to a Beijing summit with Xi Jinping, but trade disputes and fentanyl tensions leave Washington hesitant to confirm.
China has formally invited U.S. President Donald Trump to attend a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, though the White House has not yet provided a response.

The report, citing informed sources, suggested Trump and Xi may instead opt for a lower-profile encounter on the sidelines of the APEC summit in South Korea this October.
