US President Donald Trump said Friday he will host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner at the White House on Sept. 24, while describing the conflict in Iran as "small potatoes" for the United States.
"We're going to have a state dinner, and we're going to do great things with China," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump said he looked forward to Xi's visit and described the Chinese leader as "a great gentleman", adding that the two countries had a good trading relationship despite being competitors.
