Europe's actions towards China could potentially provoke Russia into terminating its ongoing war, according to Trump's statement.
In an interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump discussed his plans for a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping, scheduled for this Friday, 19 September. The discussion is centred around a potential deal on TikTok and trade.
Trump expressed his belief that China, as the biggest purchaser of oil from Russia, holds significant power over Moscow. He suggested that European countries imposing sanctions or tariffs on China could pressure China to pressure Russia to end its war against Ukraine. However, no specific details about the nature of the deal between Trump and China on TikTok and trade were mentioned.
The White House announced the scheduled call between the two leaders, but no details about the current state of the conversation were provided. Similarly, no information about the current state of TikTok in China or the Ukrainian military's confirmation of killing of Russians was given.
Meanwhile, the European Union is planning to accelerate its phase-out of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). The context for this statement was not clear, and no details about the potential consequences of the EU's actions on Russian LNG were provided.
Trump also stated that his relationship with China is good. Conversely, he did not comment on the current state of the war between Russia and Ukraine or Putin's address to Russians.
Despite the lack of specific information, Trump's statements indicate a potential shift in international relations, with the US and Europe seeking to exert pressure on China and Russia, respectively, to influence outcomes in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The full implications of these strategies remain to be seen.
