Trump to Ask Xi for China's Help in Ukraine Conflict
U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking China's assistance in resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He plans to discuss this with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the APEC summit later this month. Meanwhile, Moscow has stressed its commitment to a settlement, but accused Kyiv of lacking the same eagerness.
Trump believes that the sanctions imposed on Russia, which include targeting major energy companies like Rosneft and Lukoil, are having a significant impact. He is now exploring the possibility of using oil, energy, or other means to influence Russia's actions in Ukraine. However, China's Foreign Ministry has maintained that coercion and pressure will not resolve the issue, advocating instead for peace and a ceasefire.
The U.S. President has also canceled a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming weeks. Putin has warned that the U.S. sanctions will have serious consequences for Russia.
Trump's meeting with Xi at the APEC summit on October 30 will focus on the Ukraine conflict and potential ways to influence Russia's actions. Despite the U.S. sanctions, China continues to advocate for a peaceful resolution, emphasizing the need for dialogue and a ceasefire.
