News of the call came as new data showed U.S. goods imports dropped significantly in April as sweeping tariffs rolled out.

President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke on Thursday, and both countries pledged to restart tariff and trade talks in the coming days. Trump hailed the call as "positive," with both leaders inviting the other to visit their respective countries.
