It will be the first meeting between the two men in what many argue is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, and it comes amid heightened tensions in Asia.
As the White House put it in a statement announcing the visit, "The two leaders will discuss global, regional, and bilateral issues of mutual concern.
Territorial disputes in the South China Sea and China`s continued building of man-made islands are also likely to be on the agenda, as will be the trade relationship between the two countries.
Trump has said in recent weeks that North Korea is one of the biggest security challenges he faces as president and has called on China to rein in Pyongyang, which US officials believe is preparing fo r another nuclear test.
