Скачать или смотреть Trump Warns UK Against China Ties as Starmer Seals Major Deals in Beijing

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that it is “very dangerous” for the United Kingdom to do business with China, as UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai during a high-profile visit aimed at boosting trade and investment ties with Beijing.

Trump’s comments came after Starmer met Chinese President Xi Jinping and announced a series of economic agreements, including visa-free travel, lower whisky tariffs, intelligence-sharing on organized crime, and a £10.9 billion investment by AstraZeneca in China.

UK ministers rejected Trump’s warning, saying it would be unrealistic for Britain to ignore China’s role in the global economy, while Downing Street confirmed that Washington had been informed of the trip in advance.
