Washington, June 3 -- US President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping will likely hold a long-awaited call later this week, the White House said on Monday, as trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies ratchet back up.
"The two leaders will likely talk this week," press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters outside the West Wing when asked whether Trump and Xi would speak. They have yet to have any confirmed contact more than five months since the Republican returned to power, despite frequent claims by the US president that a call is imminent. P15
