WASHINGTON, D.C. (Fox News) — President Donald Trump warned the U.K. against deepening ties with China, following a meeting between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Xi Jinping.

Trump’s Warning

Trump cautioned against U.K. involvement with China, stating it was risky for both the U.K. and Canada. He emphasized that China was not the solution for Western economies, despite his personal relationship with President Xi.

Thawing Relations

Starmer and Xi sought to reset relations during an 80-minute meeting in Beijing, focusing on dialogue, cooperation, climate change, and global stability.

Key Points

The leaders discussed progress on whisky tariffs, visa-free travel for British citizens to China, and cooperation on migration. Starmer also raised concerns about human rights and the Iran nuclear program.

Overall Impact

Starmer is the first British prime minister to visit China in eight years, signaling efforts by Beijing to re-engage with Western partners. The visit comes as the U.K. navigates trade alignment with the U.S. and negotiations over the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands.
