In a three-and-half-hour exchange, Biden and Xi talk about Taiwan, strategic nuclear controls, and global economic issues. United States President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked about how to harmonize their positions in the resumption of negotiations with Iran on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, a top US official said on Tuesday. Officials from Iran and the six nations that struck the pact – the United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the US – will meet in Vienna on November 29 to see if Tehran and Washington can agree to renew indirect talks on the UN-recognised agreement under which Iran curbed its nuclear program to gain relief from Western economic sanctions. “The two presidents had the chance to talk about how we can align our perspectives heading into that meeting,” White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told a virtual audience in a web event hosted by the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.
The Iran nuclear talks were just one of a range of issues confronting the US and China that Biden and Xi discussed in three and a half hours on November 15. In the most in-depth exchange since Biden took office as US president in January, the two covered tensions over Taiwan, strategic nuclear controls, and global economic issues.
