DONALD Trump has been invited to visit China after a “very good” phone call with his Beijing counterpart Xi Jinping.

The calls comes amid weeks of escalating trade tensions after Trump announced especially bruising tariffs on China.

Trump took to Truth Social to share his reaction to the one and a half hour long call between the two leaders.

He said the conversation led to a “very positive conclusion” for both the US and China.

“During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated,” Trump wrote.

“As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing.”

Trump mentioned that their discussion centered “almost exclusively” on trade issues, with “nothing” related to Iran or the Russian incursion into Ukraine being brought up.

Xi Jinping said that a “consensus has been reached” following the call – which comes following weeks of bitter exchanges over trade.

The Chinese leader stated that “both nations should effectively utilize the existing economic trade consultation mechanisms” and emphasized that “dialogue and cooperation are the only viable paths for China and the US.”

However, the precise details of any agreement settled between the two presidents is yet to be confirmed.

US tariffs on China have stood at 30% since a trade reprieve last month – before which Trump had raised them to a bruising 145%.

The stand-down saw China lower tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%.

But China said on Monday that the US had “severely violated” the truce.
