Former United States President Donald Trump blamed President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama for "pushing Russia and China together." He said the two countries are "pretty well united now" and that they "shouldn't have been allowed" to develop their bilateral ties.
Trump repeated that "this would never have happened with me," adding that he will again have a "great relationship" with Chinese President Xi Jinping if reelected in 2024. In an interview with Just the News, he said he "will see" whether proceeding with a "partial decoupling" from China will be necessary. "They may very well turn out to be fine," he added.
