President Donald Trump will speak with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the next few days, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Feb. 3.

The call arrangement was announced shortly after the United States escalated tariffs on China, citing concerns about the influx of fentanyl-related chemicals from the country.
