US-China: Trump-Xi Phone Call Expected Today

Washington (USA), Sept. 19 (LaPresse/AP) – A phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping is scheduled for today, aimed at finalizing a deal that would allow the popular social media app TikTok to continue operating in the United States. The call could also offer hints about a possible in-person meeting between the two leaders to discuss a broader agreement to end the trade war and clarify the future direction of relations between the two superpowers. The TikTok agreement follows a framework deal reached earlier this week. While trade tensions between the U.S. and China have eased, issues such as tariffs and tech export controls remain unresolved.
