President Biden To Speak With China's Xi About Russia, Ukraine War
Newsy
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said this conversation will be a chance for the president to assess where China stands on the Russian invasion.
President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping are set to speak on Friday as the White House warns Beijing that providing military or economic assistance for Russia's invasion of Ukraine will trigger severe consequences from Washington and beyond.
Planning for the call has been in the works since President Biden and Xi held a virtual summit in November, but differences between Washington and Beijing over Russian President Vladimir Putin's prosecution of his three-week-old war against Ukraine are expected to be at the center of the call.
