White House says Trump-Xi call will happen soon

Efforts are under way to schedule a call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday, adding that it "will happen very soon."

Leavitt defended Trump's 10% tariffs on goods from China, saying "it was a retaliatory tariff on China for the last four years of their unprecedented distribution of fentanyl into our nation's borders."
