President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping spoke for nearly two hours via a video call on Friday as the White House looks to deter Beijing from providing military or economic assistance for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.China's Foreign Ministry was the first to issue a readout of the video conversation, deploring "conflict and confrontation" as "not in anyone's interest," without assigning any blame to Russia.Ahead of the call, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would question Xi about Beijing's "rhetorical support" of Putin and an "absence of denunciation" of Russia's invasion.
