"I think I'll be talking to President Xi within the next 10 days," Mr Biden told reporters as he returned from a climate-related trip to Massachusetts.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Mr Biden appeared to cast doubt on a trip reportedly planned by House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit Taiwan next month. Ms Pelosi's office declined to comment on whether the visit is moving forward, citing security concerns. The State Department has called the trip"hypothetical." Plans for the trip were reported by the Financial Times, which also said the White House had expressed concerns.
US military vessels were conducting transits through the Taiwan Strait as recently as Tuesday, angering Beijing, which sent fighters across the strait's median line this month following a visit to Taipei by US Senator Rick Scott.
