‘Deal without Ukraine’: Trump-Xi meeting could be decisive for war, with Taiwan in play — Kotov
A meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping could be decisive in efforts to halt the fighting in Ukraine, public policy expert Illia Kotov told Radio NV on Sept. 23.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's meeting could be crucial in ending the conflict in Ukraine, according to Ilia Kotov, a public policy expert. Kotov believes Xi will attempt to persuade Trump to trade his support for Russia for Taiwan, potentially leading to China gaining more influence. However, the expert acknowledges that while China may invade Taiwan, it is also interested in maintaining its economic gains.
Trump could leverage the ongoing tariffs on China, which relies heavily on Russian oil, to exert influence on both Russia and China. Although the U.S. and China aim to avoid direct involvement in Ukraine's affairs, the outcome of their meeting could still impact the situation, with both nations keen to avoid negatively affecting their own interests.
