Presidents Trump and Xi are gearing up for a phone call later this week, according to the White House. This comes as the U.S. and China—the world’s two biggest economies—keep trading barbs over who’s breaking their fragile trade ceasefire from May.

Editor’s Note: These talks could either ease tensions or escalate them further—no small thing when the global economy is caught in the crossfire. Even if it’s just a phone call, it’s a signal both sides are still at the table, for now.
