Trump Touts Strong U.S.-China Relations Following Phone Call with Xi Jinping
President Donald TRUMP emphasized the strength of U.S.-China relations in a Truth Social post following a phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The discussion marked their first communication since meeting in South Korea, where they agreed on a trade deal. Key topics included trade, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, agricultural products, and efforts to curb fentanyl trafficking.
The U.S. has committed to reducing China's tariff rate from 57% to 47%, while China pledged to increase soybean purchases, restrict rare earth exports, and combat fentanyl flows. Trump also accepted an invitation to visit Beijing in April 2026, with Xi set to reciprocate with a U.S. visit later that year.
