@cdarwin@c.imTrump may be on the verge of tying the United States to China irrevocably:
Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest $1 trillion in the United States,
largely to build factories on American soil.
It would be an unforced error of world-historic proportions.
“I don’t blame China,”
Trump told business leaders in Beijing in 2017.
“After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for…

@cdarwin@c.imDonald Trump and Xi Jinping wrapped up their meeting after about two hours of talks covering Taiwan, trade and other differences in US-China relations.
The meeting was behind closed doors and the White House didn’t offer an official readout afterwards,
