Trump's China Strategy Complicated by Strains With Allies Ahead of Xi Meeting
As the US president prepares to meet his Chinese counterpart, tensions with Washington's traditional allies are complicating efforts to build unified pressure on Beijing.
Donald Trump's efforts to marshal international pressure on China are being complicated by growing strains with US allies, according to CNBC, as the president prepares for a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The report describes China as increasingly resilient even as Washington seeks to coordinate a unified stance among its traditional partners.
Tensions between the United States and several of its allies are said to be undercutting Washington's ability to present a united front on China policy, at a moment when the administration is seeking leverage ahead of direct talks with Beijing.
The dynamic underscores the challenge facing US foreign policy: building coalition pressure on China while managing friction closer to home with longstanding partners.
CNBC's report did not specify further details on the nature of the meeting's agenda or the particular allied disputes contributing to the strain.
