China Says There’s Been No Recent Call Between President Xi and President Trump 📞
Hey there! You know how sometimes your friend says you called them, but you actually didn’t? Well, something like that happened between two of the world’s most important leaders!
The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump have not talked on the phone recently. 😮
Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said, “As far as I know, there have not been any calls between the two presidents recently.” He shared this news during a regular meeting with reporters.
So why is this important? Well, there were some reports saying that President Trump told Time magazine that President Xi had called him. But according to China, that call didn’t happen.
Guo Jiakun also mentioned, “Let me make it clear one more time that China and the United States are not engaged in any consultation or negotiation on tariffs.” Tariffs are special taxes that countries put on things they buy from each other. They’re like extra costs that can make things more expensive.
This news is important because when leaders talk or don’t talk, it can affect how countries get along. It’s kind of like when you and your friends have a misunderstanding—it can lead to confusion!
So, for now, it seems that there hasn’t been a recent phone chat between President Xi and President Trump. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next! 🕰️
