The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had earlier reported that Xi told Trump the return of the island to China was an \u201cintegral part of the post-war international order\u201d forged in the joint US-China fight against \u201cfascism and militarism\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Xi\u2019s overtures came as his country faced off against Japan over the future of the self-governing island, which China considers its territory. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently said Japan\u2019s military could intervene militarily in any attack on Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>According to China\u2019s Foreign Ministry, Trump told Xi that the US, which does not officially recognise Taiwan\u2019s claim to statehood, yet remains the island\u2019s most important partner and arms supplier, \u201cunderstands how important the Taiwan question is to China\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The phone call also coincided with the Trump administration\u2019s latest push to end the war in Ukraine. China has positioned itself as a neutral party in the conflict. In Monday\u2019s call, Xi said he supported \u201call efforts that are conducive to peace\u201d, expressing hope that the crisis be resolved \u201cat its root\u201d, according to the Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation came nearly one month after the two men met in person in the South Korean city of Busan as a trade war between the two countries rocked international markets.<\/p>\n<p>A tentative deal reached in October\u2019s meeting saw Beijing agree to suspend export restrictions on critical minerals for one year.<\/p>\n<p>Washington said it would cut back tariffs on Chinese products and that Beijing would up purchases of soya beans from US farmers after shunning the product for months.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said on Monday that he had spoken about \u201cFentanyl, Soybeans and other Farm Products\u201d with his Chinese counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have done a good, and very important, deal for our Great Farmers \u2013 and it will only get better,\u201d Trump wrote, without providing further details.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump and Xi talk soya bean and Taiwan, continuing to lower temperature in wake of meeting in South Korea last month.
