WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday that there is no timeline for either a phone call or a meeting between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping.
"I don't have anything to read out at this time. The President [Biden] is looking to do that sometimes down the road. I just don't have anything specific or any timeline to zero in on for you all today," Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing.
In May, Biden said that he was going to meet with Xi "whether it’s soon or not" and that arrangements for a conversation between him and Xi were in the works and expressed hope that the talks would come to fruition.
