White House holds its cards close about Biden's call with Xi

The White House was vague on details regarding President Biden's nearly two-hour discussion with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday.

"Sweeping and indiscriminate sanctions would only make the people suffer," the statement read. "If further escalated, they could trigger serious crises in global economy and trade, finance, energy, food, and industrial and supply chains, crippling the already languishing world economy and causing irrevocable losses."

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki speaks at a press briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on March 17, 2022. The White House readout states that Biden described to Xi "the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians," stopping short of saying what those consequences would be, or whether it would be China that faces them.
