Trump, Xi to speak 'sometime this week': White House official

() The White House said to expect President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to soon speak to one another about ongoing trade disputes.

The conversation is likely to happen “sometime this week,” a senior White House official told . Press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the talk’s timeline, per Reuters.

It comes after both the United States and China have accused one another of violating agreements on trade amid tense tariff negotiations.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused China of playing with supply chains of India and Europe, and Trump in a social media post accused China of “totally” violating their 90-day agreement, reached in May.

The deal slashed Trump’s sky-high tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while Beijing dropped its own from 125% to 10%.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said his country has “responsibly and faithfully” upheld its end of the agreement.

“Without any factual basis, the U.S. falsely accuses and smears China, and has taken extreme suppression measures against China such as new chip export controls, blocking EDA sales, and announcing plans to revoke Chinese students’ visas,” spokesperson Lin Jian’s statement reads in part.

Last week, Bessent described negotiations between the two nations as having hit a stall, adding that it might take the two heads of state speaking directly to get a deal done.

The Trump administration is currently in a legal battle over whether the president’s sweeping tariffs can remain in place.
