Xi Takes Veiled Swipe at Trump as He Greets His Frenemy

Chinese President Xi Jinping took a not-too-subtle dig at Donald Trump and the U.S. while meeting with Vladimir Putin in Beijing.

In his second high-profile summit in a matter of days, Xi welcomed the Russian leader to the Great Hall of the People on Wednesday, not long after receiving Trump in the same historic building.

During the meeting, Xi praised the ties between China and Russia as “calm amid chaos” on the world stage while also taking a thinly veiled jab at the turbulence the Trump presidency has caused on issues such as Iran and his sweeping tariffs.
