Even as Washington and Beijing grapple with that security crisis in North Korea, Trump has pressed China for more balanced trade with Amer- ica.
Trump has been openly critical of large trade surpluses with the United States and last month ordered an investigation into whether Beij- ing improperly pressures companies to hand over their technology in exchange for market access. His trip to China will come weeks after Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to receive a sec- ond five-year term as the leader of commu- nist party. Trump has sought to forge a personal re- lationship with Xi, hosting him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in April. In a prelude to trip to China, Trump met Thursday with Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong, who was attending the inaugural dialogue on peo- ple-to-people ties in Washington.

State Department, responding to a series of mysterious on diplomats in Havana, warned Americans on Friday against travel to Cuba and ordered more than half of its diplomatic person- nel to leave the island. The warning came as the Trump White House was already moving to reverse the Obama administra- easing of travel restrictions two years ago as part of an effort to improve relations between the longtime enemies. In 2015, President Barack Obama and Cuban Presi- dent Raul Castro restored diplomatic ties. Embassies reopened, and travel and commerce restrictions eased. President Donald Trump has reversed some changes but broadly left the rapprochement in place.
The latest decision will deliver a heavy blow to the Cuban economy, which increasingly depends on tour- ism. The State Department, in issuing the formal travel warning, said on its website that the U.S. has been un- able to identify the source of the attacks on diplomats and believes that citizens may also be at Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement that while there are no reports that private U.S. citi- zens have been affected, attacks are known to have occurred in U.S. diplomatic residences and ho- tels frequented by U.S.

The decision by the State Department follows a se- ries of unexplained reports, beginning almost a year ago, of health problems for some 21 diplomats and their families. Significant injuries have included ear com- plaints, hearing loss, dizziness, tinnitus, balance prob- lems, visual complaints, headache, fatigue, cognitive issues and difficulty sleeping, the State Department said. The FBI and other agencies that searched homes and hotels where incidents occurred found no devices. And clues about the circ*mstances of the incidents seem to make any explanation scientifically implausible.
