Trump praises call with Xi as 'very productive', confirms meeting in November by leaders
Donald Trump had a 'very productive call' with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, confirming that they will meet at a summit in South Korea in November and he has agreed to travel to China in the early part of next year.
The conversation between the two leaders, conducted on Trump's Truth Social platform, covered several important issues, including trade, fentanyl, and a potential deal to spin-off Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok. No information was provided about the outcome of the discussion regarding the TikTok deal.
Trump is attempting to have TikTok sold to an American buyer to allow it to continue to operate in the US, as a ban on the app is currently due to come into effect in December.
The call also included discussions about ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, although no further details about this topic were disclosed.
Trump and Xi Jinping have agreed to speak again by phone. The summit in South Korea, scheduled for November, will mark the first meeting between the two leaders since Trump's meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin in August.
No further details about the summit in South Korea were provided, but Trump confirmed that he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit in South Korea in November. The meeting between the two leaders will take place at the summit.
The topics of trade, fentanyl, and a potential TikTok deal were discussed during the call, signalling a potential shift in the relationship between the US and China on these key issues. The conversation between Trump and Xi Jinping serves as a promising step towards resolving some of the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
