US-China trade talks to move forward after Trump-Xi call

US President Donald Trump said he had a "very good phone call" with China's President Xi Jinping on Thursday.

In comments posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump said "some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal" had been discussed.

The US president said the call lasted around one and a half hours and "resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries."

Trump invited to China

Trump said Xi "graciously invited" him and the first lady to visit China, to which he "reciprocated."

"As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing," Trump said.

Trump also made reference to the call during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office and confirmed that he would be making a visit to China.

"He invited me to China and I invited him here, we both accepted. So, I will be going there with the first lady at a certain point and he will be coming here, hopefully with the first lady of China, " Trump said.
