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.
