Trump Confirms Visit to China — and U.S. Visit by Xi Jinping — After Phone CallFrances Martel 5 Jun 2025
President Donald Trump confirmed plans on Thursday to visit China as soon as possible — and to host genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in America, as well.
Xi and Trump held their first phone call together since Trump was inaugurated for a second term as president in January. During his first term in office, Trump’s foreign policy focused intensely on combatting China’s malignant influence on the world stage, from the debt traps of Beijing’s “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) to China’s espionage, intellectual property theft, and use of slavery to outcompete international manufacturers. Trump never antagonized Xi personally, however, and always offered gracious words about the Communist Party chief during his tenure.
Trump revealed details of his conversation with Xi on Thursday morning, describing the conversation as “very good,” “very positive,” and “almost entirely on TRADE.” He noted that the two did not address critical geopolitical flashpoint issues such as the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine or Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program.
“The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries,” Trump wrote in a post about the phone call on his social network Truth Social.
“During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated,” Trump revealed. “As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. 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!” he concluded.
During a press event at the White House on Thursday, Trump added that both he and Xi had accepted the mutual invitation.
“He invited me to China and I invited him here,” Trump told reporters. “We both accepted, so I’ll be going there with the First Lady at a certain point, he’ll be coming here hopefully with the first lady of China.”
“We had a very good talk and we’ve straightened out any complexity — it’s very complex stuff, and we figured it out,” Trump added. “I think we’re in very good shape with China and the trade deal.”
