President Trump posted on social media that he had a ‘very good phone call' with Chinese leader Xi Jinping over trade.
“I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday morning.
