WASHINGTON—President Biden and Chinese language chief Xi Jinping held a cellphone assembly dealing with an array of friction-filled points, as a possible trip to Taiwan by Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatens so as to add new tensions to severely strained relations.
For the 2 leaders, the digital assembly Thursday was their fifth since Mr. Biden took workplace. Their final dialog, in March, was dominated by Russia’s navy assault on Ukraine with questions on Beijing’s partnership with Moscow. Officers on each side see such conferences as an efficient, probably stabilizing channel, provided that Messrs. Biden and Xi have recognized one another for greater than a decade since they each served as vice presidents.
