President Donald Trump opened up about his phone conversation with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday, describing it as a “very good call” with a “very positive conclusion” in a Truth Social post.

The call came amid increased tensions between the two nations in the trade war sparked by Trump’s steep tariffs imposed on the regime.

“I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal,” Trump said in the post.

Trump revealed that he and Xi spoke for about an hour and a half earlier Thursday, and ended with both sides extending invitations to meet in person in Beijing and the White House.

I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal. The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries. There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The call came just a day after Trump complained that Xi was ‘EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH’ in an all-caps Truth Social tirade.

Three weeks ago, the two nations agreed to a 90-day truce in the trade tussle after Trump slapped a 125 percent tariff on Chinese goods.
