Kevin Hassett, the Director of the U.S. National Economic Council, indicated on Sunday that President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping might discuss trade matters "as soon as this week," although no specific date has been established. During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Hassett commented, "We anticipate that President Trump will have an excellent conversation regarding trade negotiations with President Xi this week." The potential dialogue is expected to center around the Geneva agreement, which is reportedly viewed positively by both nations. Hassett mentioned, "The expectation is that both parties have shown a willingness to engage in talks," and noted that U.S. and Chinese representatives are in daily communication to advance the negotiations. A call between Trump and Xi would mark a pivotal moment, especially following their recent meeting in Switzerland, where they agreed on a 90-day trade truce.
