US President Donald Trump has said he will visit China after holding a telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. 

After the Thursday phone call, Trump said he had reciprocated with an invite to the White House during the "very good talk". However, neither side has not confirmed such a trip yet, reported BBC. 

The two leaders spoke to each other for the first time since Trump launched a tariff war with Beijing in February. As per the Chinese media, the call happened at the request of the White House.

Trump-Xi Talks 

The hour-and-a-half conversation was primarily focused on trade and had "resulted in a very positive conclusion for both countries", Trump said in a post on social media. 

"He invited me to China and I invited him here," said the US President while meeting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office. 

The Chinese readout of the conversation mentioned the invitation but not the reciprocal one to the White House. 

"We both accepted, so I will be going there with the first lady at a certain point and he will be coming here hopefully with the first lady of China."

'China Keeps Its Promise' 

Xi has been reported saying to Trump that China always kept its promise adding that both the nations should abide by the consensus reached by them on the recent deal in Geneva. 

Both sides have blamed each other for breaching the deal aimed at significantly reducing tariffs, a deal that was touted by Trump as a "total reset". The deal came after Trump increased tariffs on imports from a host of nations, but reserved the highest rates for China. Beijing hit back with its own higher rates on US imports, triggering a tit-for-tat rise that peaked at 145 per cent.
