Before speaking with Xi, Trump perceives China negotiations as hovering at the edge of agreement - Dialogue or News Headline: Trump on the Brink of a Deal with China
In a significant development, President Donald Trump of the United States and President Xi Jinping of China held a telephone conference on Friday. This marks the third call between the two leaders in 2021, and the second since January.
The focus of the call was primarily on the ongoing negotiations between the two nations, with TikTok taking centre stage. The popular video-sharing app, which boasts around 170 million users in the USA, has been a point of contention due to concerns over data privacy and security.
Donald Trump extended the deadline for the sale of TikTok once again, keeping the negotiations open. The discussions are centred on the reorganization of ownership rights for the app, with both the Chinese and the United States governments involved.
The negotiations, which are part of the broader trade talks between the two countries, are ongoing. The White House and Fox News are the reported locations for these discussions.
In a statement to reporters on Thursday, Donald Trump expressed hope to "conclude something regarding TikTok." No travel plans have been announced for either leader.
Interestingly, Xi Jinping, known for his preference for grand ceremonies, has invited Donald Trump to visit China, an invitation which the American president has reciprocated by inviting the Chinese president for a visit to the USA.
The call on Friday is likely to focus on the negotiations regarding TikTok, with tariffs also expected to be discussed. The exact planning date for the call, as well as the other negotiation partners present, are not provided in the available sources. However, the call announcement involved only Trump and Xi Jinping as primary participants.
The negotiations between the United States and China are ongoing, with both parties seeking a resolution that addresses the concerns of both nations. The call between Trump and Xi is a significant step towards resolving these issues and fostering a stronger relationship between the two global powers.
