The trip would make Sullivan the first U.S. National Security Adviser to visit China on official business since 2016, Politico reported, citing sources inside the White House.

“These meetings are consistent with efforts to maintain this strategic channel of communication to responsibly manage the relationship and are a product of the November 2023 Woodside Summit between President Biden and President Xi,” the White House said in a statement.

A proposed meeting between Biden and Xi would reportedly take place later this year, following the U.S. election on Nov. 5.
