Kommentar: Trump gefährdet mit seiner Außenpolitik die demokratische Welt
Viel Show, wenig Inhalt – der US-Präsident zeigte beim Besuch von Chinas Staats- und Parteichef Xi Jinping, wo seine Prioritäten liegen. Das schadet nicht nur den USA.
Washington - The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington was undoubtedly one of the most remarkable meetings between two world leaders in recent history. Xi emerged from the encounter stronger, while US President Donald Trump appeared diminished. Xi's 44-hour stay in the American capital was largely consumed by adulation from Trump, with no mention of human rights or China's increasingly aggressive stance in the Indo-Pacific.
There was no press conference and no American summary of the meeting, leaving Trump to communicate the results directly to Beijing. During the lengthy stay, Trump repeatedly sought reassurance from Xi about his approval, with only two hours set aside for substantive discussions between the leaders of the world's two largest economies.
