Hong Kong (CNN) As United States President-elect Joe Biden faces an ugly, potentially contested transition, foreign policy may be the last thing on his mind. But in capitals around the world, foreign leaders are already clamoring for his attention, hoping to reset relationships and restore norms that shifted under President Donald Trump. Nowhere will there be greater opportunity for a shift than in the US-China relationship, which has deteriorated to historic lows during Trump's term in office. Over the past four years, both sides have slapped the other with trade tariffs, restricted access for tech companies, journalists and diplomats, shuttered consulates, and squared off militarily in the South China Sea.
US President Donald Trump says he is considering locations for a trade meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, with the heartland state of Iowa as a possibility. "Looking at a different couple locations," Trump tells reporters, on the South Lawn of the White House, before adding "could even be in Iowa." SOUNDBITE
