U.S. President Donald Trump sent out mixed signals regarding his stance on diplomatic relations with Beijing as China commemorated the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Trump also commented on U.S. trade tensions with India.
U.S. President Donald Trump was asked whether China inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to attend the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression could be interpreted as a "challenge" to to Washington.
However, he told reporters this is not the case.
U.S. President DONALD TRUMP said,"No, no. Not at all. China needs us. And I have a very good relationship with President Xi, as you know, but China needs much more than we need them. No, I don't see that at all, no."
Still, as the parade got underway, Trump said on social media the big question is whether Chinese President Xi Jinping will recognise the contributions of Americans who fought in the war.
The U.S. President added please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. Xi's remarks at the commemoration did not mention the U.S. by name.
But, he expressed his gratitude to foreign countries that helped China resist the Japanese invasion.
The U.S. eyed the gathering of Xi, Putin and Kim warily, as well as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin on Monday that brought together Xi, Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Trump also commented on the U.S. trade relationship with India, claiming it was a "one-sided relationship."
U.S. President DONALD TRUMP said,"India has - you have to understand, for many years, it was a one-sided relationship. Only now, since I came along, and because of the power that we have with tariffs, India was charging us tremendous tariffs. About the highest in the world. They were about the highest in the world, number one. We, therefore, weren't doing much business with India, but they were doing business with us because we weren't charging them, foolishly. We weren't charging them. So they would send in massive - you know, everything they made, they'd send it in, pour it into our country. Therefore, it wouldn't be made here, you know, which is a negative."
