US president says he has accepted an invitation to visit China and extended his own offer of a visit to Xi

According to separate readouts, the leaders agreed to reverse blocked visas for Chinese students studying in the US, an irritant for Beijing, and resume Chinese exports of rare earth minerals, an irritant for Washington.
But the tone of the read-outs was notably different, with self-described deal maker Trump’s being more positive and China’s more cautious.
