Trump's China Summit

Guest: Kirk Larsen, PhD, History Professor, BYU Syria is very much Top of Mind and we’ll be discussing it on the show throughout the week, but for the moment, let’s turn to an important international event that took place over the weekend – the first meeting of President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The relationship between the US and China is a delicate one, given President Trump’s tendency during the campaign to paint China as America’s economic enemy during the campaign. Beyond trade, the two countries are also on edge about the problem of North Korea’s escalating missile tests and nuclear weapons program.
