Trump to visit Beijing in April, China's Xi invited for state visit next year

On Monday, President Donald Trump said he will travel to Beijing in April and host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a U.S. state visit later in the year after a call weeks following their meeting in Busan, South Korea.
Driven by trade, officials highlighted renewed commitments that the Trump administration trade framework renewed soybean purchases and eased China’s rare earth minerals export curbs, pending full compliance.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the phone call lasted about an hour and was very positive, focusing on negotiating a trade deal, while Beijing omitted state-visit details.
Reciprocal invitations mean Xi may travel to Florida or Washington, D.C., after Trump accepted Xi’s invitation to visit Beijing in April, while Xi hopes for a fair, lasting peace agreement over Ukraine, the Chinese foreign ministry said.
Amid differing accounts, Chinese state media and the Chinese foreign ministry framed Monday's call around Taiwan, while western governments and Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi raised security concerns over China's actions.
