President Trump struck an optimistic tone following a Thursday phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling it a “very good phone call” centered on trade and tariffs.
In a TRUTH Social post, Trump said he and Xi discussed “some of the intricacies” of last month’s Geneva deal, which led both countries to ease steep tariffs while negotiations moved forward.
The two leaders, once again locking eyes across the Pacific, seem to be edging toward renewed economic diplomacy after months of tension.
“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,” Trump posted.
“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,” Trump continued.
Trump also said Xi “graciously invited” the first lady and himself to visit China, and he “reciprocated” that invitation.
“As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing,” Trump added. “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!”
While critics dismiss the call as theater, Trump’s allies say it’s part of a broader return to “peace through strength”— this time, on the economic battlefield.
