After taking office, Trump plans to visit China again, according to a report.
On Monday, Trump's inauguration will be attended by China's vice president for the first time.
According to a report, President-elect Trump is considering a return visit to China as president with his advisors.
During his first term in 2017, the incoming president visited Beijing and spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping over the phone on Friday.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has been considering a visit to China to strengthen ties with the communist country, despite previously threatening it with tariffs, according to sources familiar with the matter.
"On Friday, Trump tweeted that he had spoken to Chinese President Xi Jinping and that the call was beneficial for both China and the U.S.A. He stated that he believed they would solve many issues together, starting immediately, and discussed topics such as trade, fentanyl, TikTok, and more. Trump and Xi pledged to work together to make the world safer and more peaceful."
He didn’t say if they had spoken about a visit.
Planet Chronicle Digital has reached out to the Trump transition team for comment.
The Journal reported that Xi could visit the White House.
Xi also met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida in 2017.
No senior Chinese official has ever attended a U.S. presidential inauguration, but Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will be attending instead, in a first.
Trump and Xi plan to establish a strategic communication channel, according to China, with Trump expressing his eagerness to meet Xi in person as soon as possible.
The Journal reported that Trump discussed the possibility of visiting India with his aides.
