WASHINGTON, Nov 24, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - President Donald Trump on Monday praised "extremely strong" US-China relations after talking with his counterpart Xi Jinping, but made no mention of the contentious issue of Taiwan.

Trump's statement confirmed that he will visit China in April and that Xi will come to Washington later in 2026.

However, unlike the official Chinese readout which described Taiwan as being prominent during the call, Trump did not refer to the dispute.
