President Biden is slated to talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday morning amid tensions between the two world powers.

The call – the fifth between Biden and Xi since Biden took office – will take place at 8:30 a.m. ET, the White House said.

The White House promised to provide a readout of the call afterward.

Chinese government officials have recently demanded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cancel a planned trip to Taiwan, saying it is a betrayal of Chinese-U.S. foreign policy agreements.

The Chinese Communist Party has threatened to respond if Pelosi visits the island, which mainland China believes rightfully belongs the CCP.
