US President Donald Trump said he accepted Chinese leader Xi Jinping's invitation to visit Beijing and that in response he invited Xi Jinping to pay a state visit to the US, UNN reports with reference to AP.
Details
Trump made the announcement hours after a phone call with Xi Jinping on Monday. He said they discussed issues such as Ukraine, fentanyl, and soybeans. The phone call came almost a month after their in-person meeting in the South Korean city of Busan.
President Xi invited me to visit Beijing in April, which I accepted, and I invited him for a reciprocal state visit to the US... We agreed that it is important to keep in touch frequently, which I look forward to.
Addendum
Beijing, which was the first to announce the phone call, did not mention state visits, but said the two leaders discussed trade, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
