“Trump’s last visit to China [was] nine years ago”
DISPUTED
The evidence is contradictory. One source (TASS) states Trump's previous Beijing trip was in 2017. Another source (Planet News) claims a visit is occurring 'Nine Years Since Last Presidential Visit', but attributes the last visit to Barack Obama in 2009, not Trump. The claim that Trump's last visit was nine years ago is not supported by the provided evidence and contradicts the 2017 date.
