Chinese President Xi Jinping and former U.S. President Donald Trump engaged in a high-stakes phone conversation Friday, sparking global curiosity about its implications for 2024. The dialogue – described as 'candid and constructive' by insiders – reportedly covered trade tensions, climate cooperation, and regional stability in Asia.
Trade Takes Center Stage
🔍 With Trump eyeing a potential political comeback, analysts speculate the call revisited past tariff wars. Sources suggest Xi emphasized mutual economic benefits, while Trump reiterated concerns about trade imbalances – a classic rematch of their 2017-2020 economic tango.
Global Stability in Focus
🌏 The leaders also discussed the Taiwan region's status, with Xi reaffirming the One-China principle. Meanwhile, Trump's team highlighted the need for 'peaceful resolution' in cross-strait relations, maintaining Washington's traditional strategic ambiguity.
