Had a good conversation with Xi Jinping; spoke on trade, North Korea: Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump in a tweet on Thursday said he had a "very good" talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping on trade and North Korea and that the two planned to meet at the upcoming G-20 summit.

"Just had a long and very good conversation with President Xi Jinping of China. We talked about many subjects, with a heavy emphasis on Trade," Trump wrote. "Those discussions are moving along nicely with meetings being scheduled at the G-20 in Argentina. Also had good discussion on North Korea!"

Last month, China reached out to India to fight protectionism in the wake of trade war with United States.

Last month, Trump had imposed $200 billion tariff on Chinese imports. While China retaliated by imposing tariffs on about $60 billion of US imports, experts here believe that this was expected to hurt Beijing growth and erode President Xi Jinping's credibility that he draws from continued good economic performance.

The US has threatened to impose additional tariffs of over $260 billion on imports if China retaliates again.

The Chinese Embassy spokesperson also said the US should reflect on its own practice of interfering in the internal affairs of developing countries such as China and India under the pretext of human rights and religious matters.
