President Donald Trump said he will visit China in April after what he described as a “very good” phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The leaders discussed Taiwan, Ukraine and trade, signaling an effort to maintain momentum in recently stabilized U.S.–China ties.
Trump said the two countries have made “significant progress” since their October meeting in South Korea and announced he will host Xi for a state visit in 2026.

According to China’s account, Xi stressed that Taiwan’s return to the mainland remains a core part of the post–World War II order.
Beijing has grown increasingly alarmed after Japan’s new prime minister suggested Tokyo could intervene militarily in a Taiwan crisis.
The call comes as China faces rising tensions with Japan and ongoing debates over a U.S. peace plan for Ukraine.
Analysts say Beijing may be probing Trump’s stance on Taiwan as it seeks to pressure Japan while keeping Washington engaged but cautious.
