US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have accepted an invitation to visit China later this year, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed at a press briefing on Friday afternoon.

"They have (accepted the invitation)," he said when asked to confirm the report a few days ago. The report says the two will visit China ahead of President Trump's state visit to China at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
