Trump says he’ll visit Beijing in April after ‘very good’ call with China’s Xi
Trump accepted Xi's invitation to visit Beijing in April after a phone call covering trade, Taiwan, and Ukraine, with no new trade agreements disclosed, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone to discuss trade, Taiwan and Ukraine, White House and Chinese officials confirmed.
- After recent spikes in regional tensions, the leaders spoke following Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent remarks about military involvement if China acted on Taiwan.
- Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed historical frames on Taiwan, saying its return to mainland China is key to the post-war order and urged the U.S. and China to jointly safeguard World War II's outcomes, citing the Busan meeting's momentum.
- Beijing's readout revealed no concrete purchase commitments like American soybeans despite last month's trade truce that cut U.S. tariffs and eased Chinese export controls.
- The call complicates plans for a trilateral summit between China, Japan and South Korea, which currently has no set date amid a bad atmosphere; Xi reiterated China's support for Ukraine peace efforts and urged parties to narrow differences.
