President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will likely speak this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions.

President Donald Trump says his first conversation with Chinese leader Xi Jinping since returning to the White House had a “very positive conclusion," announcing the two countries will hold trade talks in hopes of breaking an impasse over tariffs and global supplies of rare earth minerals.

A potential trade deal between the world’s top two economies hinges on Donald Trump and Xi Jinping overcoming core differences in their negotiation styles, former acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said.
