Trump and South Korea's Lee discuss outcome of US-China summit

Updated on:

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and US President Donald ⁠Trump held a phone call on Sunday and discussed the outcome of the US-China summit meeting, the South Korean Blue House presidential office said in a ⁠statement on Sunday.

The two leaders also talked about the smooth implementation of ⁠a bilateral trade deal signed last year, as well ⁠as peace on the Korean Peninsula, it ⁠said, without elaborating.

Earlier, Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she and US President Donald Trump reaffirmed an "ironclad" bilateral alliance in a phone call, which Trump joined ⁠from aboard Air Force One hours after ending his two-day visit to China.

"We exchanged views on issues surrounding China, including the economy and security...and reaffirmed close communication on Indo-Pacific issues," Takaichi told reporters ⁠after the call.

Issues related to Iran were also discussed and Takaichi said she shared Japan's stance on those ⁠with Trump.

She did not answer a reporter's question on whether they discussed ⁠Taiwan.

Trump "briefed me in detail (on his China visit) on the ⁠condition that our conversation remain confidential," Takaichi said.
