Trump welcomes 'friend' China's Xi for talks - BBC News

What happened to Trump's campaign promise to officially brand China as a currency manipulator on DAY 1 of his presidency, or his promise to create 45% tarrifs on Chinese imports?

BBC News - Trump welcomes 'friend' China's Xi for talks

US President Donald Trump has welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to his Florida resort for their first summit.

Mr Trump said the two men had "developed a friendship" as they sat for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago retreat.

The American leader is expected to press his counterpart for action on North Korea, and Mr Xi to seek assurances on Taiwan.

Mr Trump has said the summit "will be a very difficult one". Last year he accused China of "raping the US".

During the election campaign, he said massive trade deficits and job losses could no longer be tolerated. But at dinner on Thursday, it was all smiles, with the leaders' two wives, folk singer Peng Liyuan and First Lady Melania Trump also in attendance.

Despite his tough campaign talk, Mr Trump has so far not followed through on his threat to formally brand China a "currency manipulator", nor to hit Chinese imports with punitive tariffs.

You have to admire trump . Until a few days ago their was no planned meeting. And suddenly xi is in usa , leaving all his work , to placate trump. These meetings are normally planned months in advance.

Powerful nation will get first class treatment from US. A bitch will get this awkward handshake

Trump is the one who claimed that China was "raping the USA", yet he already kowtowed to China on the One China Policy, and now this. So who is the bitch?

This is what happened when you're clueless like most of your internet Hindus countrymen regarding the "Curry house gossips" as "truth"

The meeting had been in the planning stages for several weeks as aides worked out the particulars. China had pushed for the more relaxed atmosphere of a meeting at Mr. Trump’s resort, rather than at the White House, American officials said.

Well i am unfamiliar with the geopolitics regarding this . Maybe u can explain.


I stand by my comment. Arguably the 2 most powerful men , excl putin , are meeting and the meeting seems rushed . To the world it looks that xi was summoned by trump in a hurry and xi had no chouce.

Yeah, of course you can stand by your baseless trolling while getting a full 'facial" in return due to your ignorance, please feel free to continue making a damn fool out of yourself as usual

If you try to learn then i suggest to sh*t your mouth and keep on reading Hindus obviously are clueless just as that Modi of yours.

Well i guess you guys run out of arguments real fast and have to resort to the above. Sad.

Your premise was entirely wrong to begin with, so what do you expect him to say?

Just check this forum alone, there have been countless articles posted from the past month or so about this upcoming meeting.

How exactly did you think that this meeting came out of nowhere? That's completely illogical. Same as how Trump backed down on the One China Policy even after boasting so much about it beforehand, completely illogical.

Trump is a troll president who has accelerated downfall of the American Empire

The proper counter would have been , that even the brit , german , etc leaders have payed visits to trump , so xi is no exception.
Ofcourse the difference being they are allies while xi is not.
Thats how civilized ppl argue not by becoming immediately racist.
Also i stand by my comnent that trump has more or less summoned xi at a short notice. Till a month ago their was no news of this summit .

Also coming to the topic , why do you think xi is in usa ? Because he is not standing on ceremony like ppl here.
He knows that with a nut like trump in office , the 500 b per annum , usd trade surplus china has with usa , could disappear in short time.
In 5 years 2.5 trillion gone if china becomes adversarial.
Whether china likes it or not usa is its prime profitable market .

Reality says otherwise.

Trump made a solemn promise during his campaign that he would, on DAY ONE of his Presidency, officially declare China a currency manipulator. And then raise 45% tarrifs. Go check his Day One promises.

Guess what? He chickened out of both.

To make matters worse, he officially kowtowed to China on the One China Policy:

For absolutely nothing in return.

Then he comes to this meeting and claims that Xi Jinping is now his "friend".

Donald Trump is not even taken seriously by America's own allies, he is known across the world primarily as President P*ssy Grabber. It is not hard to see why.
