United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a wide-ranging phone call on Monday, creating fresh momentum to stabilise relations following last month’s meeting in South Korea.
Trump described the conversation as “very good,” saying the leaders discussed trade, fentanyl trafficking, agricultural agreements, and ongoing global conflicts, including the war in Ukraine.
Both leaders exchanged invitations for state visits: Trump confirmed plans to visit China in April, while Xi is expected to travel to the U.S. later in the year.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Xi used the call to reaffirm Beijing’s stance that Taiwan’s return to China is an “integral part of the post-war international order,” forged during the joint U.S.–China fight against fascism and militarism. Beijing said Trump acknowledged the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, although he did not comment on it publicly.
The discussion occurred amid rising recent tensions between China and Japan over Taiwan’s future. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently indicated that Tokyo could intervene militarily if the island were attacked, drawing sharp criticism from Beijing.
Meanwhile, China maintained a neutral position on the war in Ukraine. Xi told Trump he supports “all efforts conducive to peace” and hopes the conflict can be resolved “at its root,” according to Beijing’s readout.
Trump said the leaders again discussed “fentanyl, soybeans and other farm products,” stating that the talks would further benefit American farmers, without providing additional details.
The renewed dialogue represents one of the most sustained periods of engagement between Washington and Beijing in recent years, as both nations seek to prevent trade disputes and geopolitical tensions from escalating further.
