“China will work with the US to properly resolve issues related to TikTok,” China's Commerce Ministry said after Trump-Xi meeting in South Korea.

China did not share details on any progress toward ending uncertainty about the fate of the popular video-sharing platform in the US.

Speaking of his meeting with President Xi, Trump said: "We are going to issue a statement with some of the details but overall I guess on the scale of 0 - 10 with 10 being the best, the meeting was a 12."

US President Donald Trump said he will visit China in April.
"I'll be going to China in April and he'll be coming here sometime after that, whether it's in Florida, Palm Beach or Washington, DC," Trump told reporters on Air Force One.

Xi is "going to help us, and we're going to work together On Ukraine", Trump said.

Trump clinched a one-year deal with China's Xi Jinping on rare earths.

"All the rare earths has been settled, and that's for the world," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding that the deal was for a year and would be re-negotiated annually.

US President Donald Trump said that he had agreed to cut fentanyl-related tariffs on China to 10 per cent after talks with Xi Jinping in South Korea.

On January 21, a day after taking office, Trump threatened 10% punitive duty on Chinese imports, citing fentanyl flowing from China.

Later, on March 3, the US doubled fentanyl-related tariffs on all Chinese imports, increasing levies to 20%, effective March 4.

Crunch talks between US President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping focused on their trade war wrapped up in under two hours Thursday with no immediate public comment from either leader on whether progress was made.

Trump headed straight to Air Force One in Busan, South Korea after the first face-to-face meeting in six years with Xi, waving and pumping his first as he boarded the plane. The jet took off minutes later.

Xi was seen boarding his limousine outside the closed-door meeting, which lasted around an hour and 40 minutes.

While the details of Trump-Xi meet are not out yet, a deal on rare earths is expected to be struck between the two world leaders.

A strategic field dominated by China that is essential for manufacturing in defence, automobiles and consumer electronics, the topic of rare earths is expected to occupy a central role in negotiations.

Beijing imposed sweeping export controls on the materials and related technology this month.

Trump swiftly announced retaliatory tariffs of 100 per cent on all Chinese goods, originally due to come into effect on Saturday.

The move threatened to kick off another tit-for-tat trade war spiral.

Trump has since softened his rhetoric, saying such a tariff level is "not sustainable".

US President Donald Trump, ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, said he has instructed the Department of Defense to immediately resume testing nuclear weapons on an "equal basis" with other nuclear powers.

"Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately," Trump said on Truth Social, ahead of the meeting with Xi in South Korea.

"Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years," Trump noted.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday told US counterpart Donald Trump that while the two countries did not always see eye to eye, they should strive to be "partners and friends".

"China and the US can jointly shoulder our responsibility as major countries and work together to accomplish more great and concrete things for the good of our two countries and the whole world," Xi said as talks kicked off in South Korea's Busan.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will have a "fantastic relationship" with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, as the two leaders met face-to-face after six years in South Korea amid major tensions between the two countries.

"It's a great honor... I think we're going to have a fantastic relationship for a long period of time - and it's an honor to have you with us," he said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping says that he has "stated in public many times that China and the United States should be partners and friends".

"This is what history has taught us and what reality demands," he adds.

Xi is ready to continue working with Trump to build a "sound atmosphere" for the development of both countries, he adds.
