According to Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping spoke to Trump on the evening of the 17th and congratulated him on his election. Trump said on social media shortly after the call that he spoke with President Xi Jinping and discussed trade, fentanyl and TikTok.
Since Trump's election on November 7 last year, there have been reports that the two have spoken on the phone, but the Chinese side has corrected it as sending a congratulatory message.
Meanwhile, China's foreign ministry said Han Jung, vice president of the state, will attend Trump's inauguration as Xi Jinping's special envoy. Earlier, shortly after winning last year's presidential election, Trump reportedly sent an invitation to President Xi Jinping for the inauguration ceremony.
