Trump, Xi Plan Visits Amid Renewed Diplomatic Talks

President Donald Trump said he has agreed to visit Beijing in April and has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit later next year. This announcement came after a phone call between the two leaders.

Trump and Xi — who last met almost a month ago in South Korea — talked about several issues, including trade, Russia’s war in Ukraine, fentanyl, and Taiwan, according to both Trump and China’s foreign ministry.

“Our relationship with China is extremely strong!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

China’s state news agency also issued a statement saying that both countries should “keep up the momentum and continue moving forward in the right direction, with equality, respect, and mutual benefit.”
