President Donald Trump said he will speak by phone with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping later Thursday as the United States overtook China as the country with the most coronavirus cases.

Trump said he and Xi would be discussing the global pandemic and insisted they have a “very good relationship.”While Trump has made a point of repeatedly calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus,” because it first blew up in the city of Wuhan, this has angered some in China and sparked accusations of race-baiting at home.

Trump says he is pushing back because a Chinese foreign ministry official has led a conspiracy theory that US soldiers brought the virus to China. “No it came from China,” he underlined Thursday, although adding, “if they feel so strongly about it, we’ll see.” Aside from coronavirus and the massive economic fallout resulting from mass social distancing strategies around the world, Trump and Xi are likely to discuss plans to negotiate a new trade agreement between the world’s two biggest economies.

Trump suggested the possibility that Xi may “want to wait” until after the US presidential election in November “to see if Trump gets beaten.”According to Trump his likely Democratic opponent Joe Biden would be Beijing’s “best dream in the world” when it comes to negotiating.

China Take over

That happens when politicking comes first and preparation takes a back seat. Trump should not be surprised.

Good luck
