Washington, Nov 25 (NationPress) US President Donald Trump has announced plans to visit China in April, responding to an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping. He shared this information via a social media post, which followed a “very good” phone call between the two leaders earlier today.

In his post on Truth Social, Trump remarked on Monday that their discussion touched upon several important topics, including Ukraine, Russia, fentanyl, soybeans, and other agricultural products. He emphasized that both nations have “done a good, and very important, deal for our Great Farmers — and it will only get better.”

He mentioned that this conversation came after their “highly successful” meeting in South Korea just three weeks prior, indicating that both sides had achieved “significant progress” in keeping recent agreements “current and accurate.” Trump also revealed plans to host the Chinese leader for a state visit in the United States later in the coming year.

The Chinese news agency Xinhua corroborated the call and indicated that Xi took this opportunity to present Beijing’s “principled position” regarding Taiwan, stressing that Taiwan’s return to China is “an integral part of the post-war international order.”

Furthermore, Xi highlighted that “China and the US fought side by side against fascism and militarism” and should “jointly safeguard the victorious outcomes of World War II.”

Currently, there is a growing diplomatic dispute between China and Japan stemming from remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding the Taiwan Strait.

During their conversation, Xi and Trump also addressed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Xi reiterated China’s commitment to “all efforts conducive to peace” and expressed hope that involved parties would work towards a “fair, lasting and binding peace agreement.”

A senior official from the Trump administration confirmed the details of the call but did not clarify who initiated it. However, The Wall Street Journal reported that Beijing arranged the communication.

This call follows the first in-person meeting between Trump and Xi since 2019, which took place in Busan on October 30. During that meeting, the two governments reached an agreement on a one-year truce regarding tariffs and export controls.

Both parties indicated that this meeting was essential in stabilizing relations after a period of increased tensions.
