US: Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server (CNN)
- When President Donald Trump suggested - without prompting - that China should
investigate Joe Biden and his son, he thrust another political grudge into what
was already the world's most complicated and consequential relationship.
The move startled Chinese officials, who say they have little interest in
becoming embroiled in a US political controversy. And it amounted to the latest
extraordinary effort by Trump to openly request political assistance from
foreign governments.
- Thursday's comments weren't the first time Trump has injected Biden into his
relationship with China, though he said Thursday he has never pushed Xi to
investigate the former vice president. Nor is it the first time he has sought to
trade favors with Xi, who this week celebrated the 70th birthday of his ruling
communist party with a note of congratulations from Trump.
