Former President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the phone, their first direct conversation since Trump announced his run for the 2024 presidency. The call focused on issues like trade, fentanyl, and TikTok amidst rising tensions.
Outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the phone on Friday, their first direct conversation since Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. The call, confirmed by Trump on his social media platform, focused on a range of issues including trade, fentanyl, TikTok, and global security. Trump described the conversation as 'good one' for both nations and expressed optimism about resolving many problems together.
'We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects. President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!', Trump stated.The call comes at a crucial time for U.S.-China relations, particularly concerning TikTok. The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a bipartisan law that could lead to TikTok's ban in the U.S. unless its Chinese-owned parent company sells the app. Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok during his first term, has now pledged to save it. He met with TikTok CEO Shou Chew at his Mar-a-Lago club in December, and Chew is expected to attend Trump's inauguration. However, Xi's representative, Vice President Han Zheng, will attend the inauguration instead. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized China's willingness to work with the new U.S. administration to enhance dialogue and manage differences, aiming for a stable and mutually beneficial relationship. The spokesperson declared, 'We stand ready to work with the new U.S. government to enhance dialogue and communication, properly manage differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, jointly pursue a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship and find the right way for the two countries to get along with each other.' The phone call between Trump and Xi highlights the complex dynamics and potential for cooperation between the two world powers
