A White House announcement did not say what Trump would discuss with
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The
talks, however, are likely to be about Trump’s growing frustration with
North Korea and its series of recent missile tests.
“The era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed, many years it has failed,” Trump said recently. “Frankly, that patience is over.”
The telephone conversations come ahead of a meeting of G20 leaders in Hamburg, Germany, later in the week, where Trump is slated to hold bilateral meetings with Abe, Xi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
The U.S. president met with Moon Friday at the White House.
