April 24 (Reuters) – U.S. ⁠Republican ⁠Senator Steve ⁠Daines will lead ​a five-member bipartisan delegation ‌to China next ‌week, the ⁠South ⁠China Morning Post reported on Friday, ​citing sources.

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled ​to visit Beijing on May ⁠14 ⁠and 15 ⁠to meet ​Chinese President Xi Jinping during ​his ⁠first visit to China in eight years, a closely ⁠watched trip which was postponed due to ⁠the Iran war.

Daines will begin its visit on May 1, with stops in Shanghai and Beijing, the report added.

Reuters ⁠could not immediately verify the report.
