Donald Trump has said he would like China’s help to deal with Russia as he seeks to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.
“I’d like China to help us out with Russia,” the US president said on board Air Force One, as he flew to Asia for a whirlwind tour, where he will meet China’s Xi Jinping in South Korea.
It could be wishful thinking, however. China is Russia’s biggest ally, and a vital support to Moscow since Western sanctions were imposed over its war in Ukraine.
Trump’s comments come off the back of a difficult week for Kyiv - the US refused to give it Tomahawk cruise missiles, EU leaders did not release frozen Russian cash to help fund its defence, and there have been more deadly strikes.
Such a fucking moron. China is very happy with the U.S. and Europe having to focus and spend on Ukraine so China can do what the hell it wants. And by having Russia slowly take over Ukraine, it paves the way for China to take over Taiwan.
