Trump Claims Xi's 'Declining Nation' Remark Targeted Biden

Trump said Xi was referring to U.S. decline under Biden, not his own term, and said the two countries should build a stronger relationship.

  • President Donald Trump claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping's remark about the United States being a 'declining nation' referred to the damage caused during Joe Biden's presidency and said Xi was '100 percent correct' on that assessment.
  • Trump argued that during his 16 months in office, the United States experienced an 'incredible rise,' citing record stock markets, military achievements, job growth, and foreign investment.
  • During Trump's visit to China, Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of stable US-China relations, proposed cooperation for mutual prosperity, and warned that mishandling issues like Taiwan could lead to clashes or conflicts.
  • Despite hopes for stronger US-China relations, tensions remain over issues such as fentanyl trade, Iran, and ongoing strategic rivalry between the nations.
