US President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping, during which they discussed key global issues including trade relations, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the fentanyl crisis, and tensions over Taiwan. Following the call, Trump announced he would visit Beijing in April next year and invited Xi to visit Washington. Both leaders agreed to maintain positive momentum in bilateral ties based on equality and mutual benefit. The White House confirmed the hour-long call focused mainly on trade, with both sides expressing satisfaction over recent progress. The discussion follows their meeting in Busan, South Korea, last October, where they reached a tariff truce. Since then, the US has reduced some tariffs on Chinese goods, while China delayed new export restrictions on rare earth metals. The conversation also touched on Taiwan’s sovereignty, which remains a sensitive issue amid China’s strained relations with Japan and the US.
