On June 5, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump connected for a 90-minute call, marking their second direct conversation since January. Held in a cordial atmosphere, the discussion covered cooperation, trade, and student exchanges—areas vital to stabilizing global relations.
First, the leaders underscored that China-US ties remain a cornerstone of global security and economic stability. Despite ongoing trade frictions, both sides treated tariffs as part of economic competition rather than national confrontation, paving the way for calmer dialogue.
Second, Xi and Trump clarified the roadmap for future economic and trade talks, offering much-needed certainty to businesses worldwide. They agreed to implement the Geneva consensus and launch a new negotiation round soon. "The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE," Trump noted. "Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined."
Third, the call highlighted significant negotiation room on both sides, sparking optimism for global governance reforms and a smoother world order transition. Xi invited Trump to visit the Chinese mainland again, and Trump expressed his anticipation for a face-to-face summit. Both leaders recognized the vast potential for cooperation, underscoring the importance of direct dialogue for resolving complex issues.
For entrepreneurs, students, and young global citizens alike, this renewed momentum in Sino-US relations could unlock fresh opportunities—from expanded export markets and cross-border investment to cultural and academic exchanges. As the world watches, the next chapter in this pivotal partnership may shape the economic and social landscape for years to come.
