US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a wide-ranging telephone conversation on Wednesday, discussing issues spanning trade, security, Taiwan, Iran and the war in Ukraine, as Washington and Beijing seek to stabilise ties between the world’s two largest economies.
Trump described the call as “excellent”, “long” and “thorough” in a post on Truth Social, saying the two leaders covered “many important subjects”, including trade, military issues, his planned visit to China in April, Taiwan, Russia’s war with Ukraine, the situation in Iran, and potential energy and agricultural deals between the two countries.
