The
Hill - Republican senators are expressing concern and dismay over
President Trump’s lavish welcome of Chinese President Xi Jinping to a two-day
summit in Washington after it was revealed earlier this month that Iran used
Chinese satellite imagery to target U.S. troops in Jordan.
Republican senators were told of
deepening military cooperation between Iran and China at a closed-door national
security briefing Thursday, heightening their concerns about Trump’s red-carpet
welcome of Xi at Joint Base Andrews.
GOP lawmakers called on Trump to
confront Xi over reports that China has provided military assistance to Iran
and demanded that China produce real concessions on trade, especially U.S.
agricultural exports, concessions that have been elusive in Trump’s negotiations
with China.
