Overview
- Chinese and U.S. leaders spoke by phone on Monday, discussing trade, the Ukraine war, fentanyl and U.S. farm sales including soybeans.
- Xinhua said Xi told Trump that Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post‑war order; the White House confirmed the call but offered few specifics.
- Trump said he accepted Xi’s invitation to visit Beijing in April and invited Xi for a U.S. state visit next year, which Chinese readouts did not mention.
- The call followed the late‑October Busan meeting that produced a one‑year tariff truce and an export‑control pause, with technical follow‑through still pending.
- No new, detailed commitments on soybean purchases or rare‑earth export terms were announced, leaving verification and implementation questions unresolved.
