According to Chief Presidential Secretary Kang Yu-jeong, the call took place at 10 p.m. and lasted about 30 minutes. The conversation was initiated at the request of South Korea to hear about the outcomes of the U.S.-China summit.
During the call, President Trump shared details of the U.S.-China summit with President Lee, and both leaders discussed the peace situation on the Korean Peninsula and the smooth implementation of the Joint Fact Sheet signed last year.
President Lee congratulated Trump on the successful state visit to China, which was the first in nine years, and noted that stable management of U.S.-China relations would contribute to peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and globally.
Additionally, President Lee praised the constructive discussions between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the Korean Peninsula.
In response, President Trump affirmed his commitment to play a necessary role in ensuring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula through close cooperation between the two leaders.
The two leaders also recalled that the Joint Fact Sheet announced last year represented a historic agreement that upgraded the Korea-U.S. alliance to a new level, and they agreed to work diligently toward its faithful implementation.
Kang noted that President Lee appreciated Trump's proactive leadership in resolving the situation in the Middle East and expressed hope for a swift restoration of peace and stability in the region. Both leaders also expressed anticipation for their upcoming meeting at the G7 summit scheduled for mid-June.
Meanwhile, following the U.S.-China summit, President Trump has been sharing the outcomes with allied leaders. On May 15, he spoke for about 15 minutes with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to discuss the results of his visit to China.
