Trump Seeks Direct Call With Xi for Trade Resolution, Experts Doubt Success

President Trump remains committed to a direct phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping to resolve ongoing trade tensions between the two nations. However, experts express doubt that such a meeting will yield significant progress. Despite stalled official negotiations, Trump aims to resolve the $600 billion trade relationship through personal contact. He has reportedly pushed for this call and believes he can negotiate its resolution through direct dialogue with Xi. However, other sources indicate that Xi’s participation in the phone call may be limited, with his likely focus on listening rather than initiating concrete action.
