American and Chinese officials have confirmed that Xi Jinping and President Trump had a rare phone conversation Monday morning. The Wall Street Journal, calling it an «unusual diplomatic move», reports that sources say the Chinese leader was the one who initiated the call. According to Chinese state media, the two leaders discussed Ukraine and Taiwan. China, which has backed Russia diplomatically and economically since its 2022 invasion, now appears keen to play a more public role in any peace process for Ukraine. According to Chinese state media, Xi told Trump that China supports «all efforts committed to peace» and hopes for a «fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement» to resolve the Ukraine crisis.
