“I just completed a very productive call with President Xi of China,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We made progress on many very important issues including Trade, Fentanyl, the need to bring the War between Russia and Ukraine to an end, and the approval of the TikTok Deal.”
In addition to the pair’s meeting during the APEC summit, Trump added that he intends to “go to China in the early part of next year, and that President Xi would, likewise, come to the United States at an appropriate time.”
“The call was a very good one, we will be speaking again by phone, appreciate the TikTok approval, and both look forward to meeting at APEC!” Trump wrote.
