Some U.S. allies are exploring new partnerships with China
Some of America’s traditional allies are forging new partnerships with China. Over the past few weeks, Chinese President Xi Jinping has been hosting several Western leaders who are seeking improved relations with the world’s second-largest economy. The list of allies includes the Canadian and British prime ministers. Germany’s chancellor is also expected to visit Beijing. These American partners are exploring opportunities with China following clashes with President Trump over tariffs and his demands to take over Greenland from NATO ally Denmark. The president has warned that it’s “dangerous” for U-S allies to do that.
