Trump Brings Surprise Guests to China Summit

“I mean, not only is he beginning to lose the war in Ukraine, he’s seeing that special relationship supposed to realign the world go up in flames,” he continued.

“Because at the very least, if we’re just to look at the words of the leaders, they’re looking to work together,” he added.

“Vladimir Putin’s hope was to get China on their side and work together as a junior partner and isolate us,” he continued. “And I think that President Xi is saying, ‘well, that’s not gonna happen.’”

The two-day visit marks Trump’s first trip to China since 2017.

The visit comes amid rising tensions over trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and the repercussions of the war with Iran.
