U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak by phone soon to discuss ongoing trade tensions, including disputes over critical mineral resources. The update was shared by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Sunday, June 1, as reported by Reuters.
Trump had earlier confirmed plans to speak with Xi, though no official date has been set. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett also noted that while scheduling is still pending, the discussion is expected to address key trade issues and may include follow-up on last month’s Geneva agreement regarding tariffs.
Officials from both sides are hopeful the upcoming conversation will help ease tensions and move negotiations forward amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.
