President Trump Issues Warning on China Ties
Former President Donald Trump has cautioned the United Kingdom against closer relations with China. His warning comes after U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade and other issues.
Trump, speaking recently, stated that it is “very dangerous” for countries to deepen their business dealings with China. He expressed similar concerns about Canada’s economic involvement with the communist nation.
The former president emphasized that while he knows President Xi personally, he believes China presents a significant challenge to Western economies.
These comments follow a meeting between Starmer and Xi, where they discussed a potential renewed partnership between the U.K. and China. Xi stressed the need for cooperation to maintain global peace, while Starmer highlighted climate change and trade as areas for collaboration.
Trump has been a long-time critic of China’s trade practices and its growing global influence. He has previously warned about the potential risks of relying too heavily on the Chinese economy. His recent remarks suggest that he remains concerned about the direction of Western nations’ relationships with China.
