Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters outside the West Wing when asked whether Trump and Xi would speak.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Xi 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. <\/p>\n<p>Trump even said in a Time Magazine interview in April that Xi had called him &#8212; but Beijing insisted that there had been no call recently.<\/p>\n<p>Stock markets around the world mostly slid on Monday as the US-China tensions resurfaced. <\/p>\n<p>Trump in early April introduced sweeping worldwide tariffs that targeted China most heavily of all, accusing other countries of &#8220;ripping off&#8221; the United States and running trade imbalances.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing and Washington last month agreed to slash staggeringly high tariffs on each other for 90 days after talks between top officials in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump and top US officials Washington officials last week accused China of violating the deal, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick saying Beijing was &#8220;slow-rolling&#8221; the agreement in comments to Fox News Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing rejected those &#8220;bogus&#8221; US claims on Monday, and accused Washington of introducing &#8220;a number of discriminatory restrictive measures.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Trump has separately ramped up tensions with other trade partners, including the European Union, by vowing to double global tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 percent from Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2025 AFP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington (AFP) \u2013 <\/span>                    US President Donald Trump and China&#8217;s President Xi Jinping will likely hold a long-awaited call later this week, the White House said Monday, as trade tensions between the world&#8217;s two biggest economies ratchet back up.                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"t-content__with-sidebar\">\n<div class=\"t-content__beside-sidebar\" data-article-content>\n<div class=\"t-content__metadata\">\n<div class=\"t-content__dates\">\n<p class=\"m-pub-dates\"><span class=\"m-pub-dates__date\">Issued on: 02\/06\/2025 &#8211;
