We got a surprise today, when it was suddenly announced that China's President Xi Jinping and President Trump had spoken directly on the phone.

And what difference would it make that both men had been playing hardball in recent weeks and months with the US administration? Well, the other world leaders have been playing close attention, so let's discuss what they've been seeing.
