WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says he’ll meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a regional summit taking place in October in South Korea and will visit China early next year. Trump and Xi had a lengthy phone call on Friday. In a Truth Social post, Trump said Xi would come to the United states and noted the leaders made progress on “the approval of the TikTok Deal” to allow the popular social media app to keep operating in the U.S. Trump hasn’t given details on what was discussed about TikTok. A Chinese government statement says Xi urged the U.S. to avoid any trade restrictions but didn’t mention the visits.
