Trump-Xi summit: don’t expect a breakthrough on conflicting U.S. and Chinese trade interests

“I have had to look President Xi in the eye and say, ‘President, America’s national security is not for sale. Period. Full stop,’” says Gina M. Raimondo, CFR expert and former U.S. secretary of commerce. “The truth of it is, their interests are opposed to ours. Right? Like they want to control their supply chain. They want to use critical minerals as leverage over us. They want and will take Taiwan. We want the opposite.” Subscribe to our channel: https://goo.gl/WCYsH7 This work represents the views and opinions solely of the author.
