Donald Trump said he would meet Xi Jinping in South Korea next month and travel to China for a summit early next year, as the two leaders agreed their first meeting since 2019.
In a post on Truth Social after a call between the leaders on Friday, Trump said he and Xi had approved a deal that would enable TikTok to continue operating in the US. Congress last year passed a law requiring ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, to divest the app to avoid a nationwide ban.
“I also agreed with President Xi that we would meet at the Apec Summit in South Korea, that I would go to China in the early part of next year,” Trump wrote, adding that Xi would also visit America at “an appropriate time”.
