US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping held their third phone call this year on Friday, Chinese state news Xinhua reported.

Further details were not immediately available, but tariffs, finalization of a deal on TikTok’s US operations, and a potential summit between the two leaders were high on the agenda.

Trump told reporters this week he hoped to finalize a deal to allow the social media app TikTok to continue operating in the US.
