Washington D.C.USA : President Trump said he spoke Thursday with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, breaking the months long silence between the two leaders.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that U.S. and Chinese leaders will meet again “shortly.” U.S. representatives will include Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
The president described it as a “very good phone call” and said that Xi invited him to visit China.
This is the first call between the two world leaders since Trump’s second term began. It comes at a key point for China-U.S. relations as the two countries try to deescalate a trade war Trump started this spring by levying 145 percent tariffs on China, which the Chinese retaliated against, halting trade between the two countries.
