US President Donald Trump Dials China’s Xi; First Since “Cold Trade War” | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 5, amid a continued freeze in trade talks between the two superpowers. According to the Chinese Embassy in the US, the call was initiated at Trump’s request. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump revealed that both leaders have extended invitations for official visits. Trade negotiators from both countries are expected to meet again in the coming days. The conversation comes just weeks after Washington and Beijing agreed to roll back most tariffs for a 90-day period, offering a temporary reprieve in an otherwise tense standoff. This call follows Trump’s recent sharp remarks about Xi, describing him as “very tough” and “extremely hard to make a deal with,” after accusing Beijing of backtracking on a trade agreement intended to ease tariffs and restrictions between the world’s two largest economies.
