Biden and Xi to speak after rare U.S. security adviser trip to China

Key Points

U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to speak over the phone in “coming weeks,” the White House said Wednesday.

The last official trip to China by a U.S. president’s national security adviser was in 2016, when Susan Rice traveled to Beijing under the Obama administration.
