Lee holds phone call with Trump on results of recent U.S.-China summit

SEOUL, May 17 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday to discuss the results of Trump's recent summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Cheong Wa Dae said.

The phone talks were arranged at Seoul's request to hear about the recent U.S.-Chinese summit, the presidential office said, without immediately releasing details of the call.

Trump returned home following his three-day visit to Beijing that ended Friday.

Trump and Xi discussed a wide range of issues, including trade and the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. The two earlier said they have agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open.
