Trump and Xi to Discuss Trade, Taiwan, and More
Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are set to have a phone call this week to talk about important issues.
They will likely discuss trade, including how much of each country's products are being bought and sold and the tariffs.
They will also talk about TikTok, Boeing planes, rare earth magnets and the future of Taiwan.
The US wants to sell more goods to China, address trade imbalances and gain access to rare earths while China wants to remove duties.
The leaders hope the call will lead to a possible in-person meeting at a summit in South Korea.
Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will speak this week.
The call is their first direct conversation since June.
Topics include trade, TikTok, Boeing, and Taiwan.
The US is seeking greater access to rare earths.
