Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he believes President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will speak soon, after Mr. Trump said China violated its trade agreement with the U.S.

Hours later, Trump said in the Oval Office that he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping and “hopefully we’ll work that out,” while still insisting China had violated the agreement.

The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, has totally violated its agreement with us," said Trump.
