China’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday that President Xi Jinping has not recently spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump. They also confirmed that no new negotiations or consultations on tariffs have been held between the two countries.
The statement came after Trump told Time magazine in an interview that Xi had personally called him. Trump also said that U.S. officials were actively working with China to reach a trade agreement, raising hopes of easing tensions over tariffs.
However, China’s response clearly denies any recent communication or progress in talks, suggesting that trade relations between the two major economies remain unchanged for now.
