		</div><p>China’s foreign ministry says a phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and his American counterpart, Donald Trump, about trade and other issues was “extremely positive”.</p>
<p>The ministry said the two leaders agreed to “strengthen economic exchanges” but gave no indication whether they made any progress on settling an escalating tariff war over Beijing’s technology policy.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said earlier on Twitter that he and Mr Xi had a “very good” conversation. A foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang, said: “I agree, this phone conversation was an extremely positive phone conversation.”</p>
<p>Mr Trump has imposed penalty tariffs of up to 25% on 250 billion US dollars (£191 billion) of Chinese goods in a dispute over Beijing’s plans for state-led development of technology industries.</p>
<p>Washington, Europe and other trading partners say those violate China’s market-opening obligations and some American officials worry they might erode US industrial leadership.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said he and Mr Xi plan to meet during a gathering of the Group of 20 major economies this month in Argentina. “Both leaders attach great importance to China-US ties and economic ties,” Mr Lu said.</p>
<p>“President Xi Jinping also stressed that China-US trade has long been serving as ballast and a stabiliser for China-US relations.”</p>
<p>The two leaders agreed the trade dispute “should be handled properly through substantial consultation”, Mr Lu said.</p>
