“I just spoke to Chairman Xi Jinping of China,” Trump posted Friday morning on his Truth Social platform. “The call was a very good one for both China and the U.S.A. It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately.”

“We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects,” the incoming commander-in-chief said. “President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!”

Trump invited the Chinese leader to his inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, but Xi won’t attend, a source familiar with the matter previously told The Post.

China’s ambassador to the US and his wife are planning to show up, as is traditional, alongside diplomatic delegations from many nations.
