“The call was very good for both China and the United States,” Trump said in a Social Truth Posting.
“I have the expectation that we will solve many problems together and starting immediately,” said the president-elect, who will be elected sworn into office on Mondays.
“We discussed how to balance trade, fentanyl, TikTok and many other issues. President Xi and I will do everything we can to make the world more peaceful and secure!” Trump wrote.
After the call, Xi said that both he and Trump expressed hope for further progress in US-China relations, Reuters reported, citing Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
Trump’s conversation with Xi about TikTok occurred shortly before the Supreme Court confirmed a federal law that will effectively ban the popular video-sharing app in the US.
The law will go into effect on Sunday. It is unclear how Trump, who has credited TikTok with helping him defeat the vice president Kamala Harris in the November 5 elections, he will take charge of the impending ban.
