  "summary": "US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticised President Donald Trump, saying he has an attraction to dictators. Schumer made the comments on the Senate floor, referring to Trump's red-carpet welcome for China's Xi Jinping.\n\nSchumer stated that Trump not only invites foreign authoritarian leaders to visit America, but also greets them plane-side, describing this as behaviour akin to that of a supplicant. He cited Trump's interactions with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin in Alaska last year as examples.\n\nAccording to Schumer, Trump's actions demonstrate an \"atavistic attraction to dictators, to bad people\".",
