Trump Says In Two Weeks He’ll Know Where US Ties With China, Russia Stand

The U.S. President also reiterated his criticism of President Xi Jinping for not mentioning the United States in his speech during the China Victory Day military parade.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would determine “how good” the relationship is between the U.S. and its trade partners, China and Russia, in the next two weeks.

“My relationship with all of them is very good. We’re going to find out how good it is, over the next week or two,” he told reporters at the White House during his bilateral meeting with the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki.

Trump also reiterated his criticism of President Xi Jinping for not mentioning the U.S. in his speech during the China Victory Day military parade. “I was very surprised. I watched the speech last night. President Xi is a friend of mine. But the U.S. should’ve been mentioned during that speech because we helped China very, very much,” he said. 

Trump hinted at additional phases of Russian oil sanctions but declined to send a direct message to Vladimir Putin, stating, “He knows where I stand.”
