US President Donald Trump has warned UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that building closer business ties with China is “very dangerous.” Starmer described his talks with President Xi Jinping as “very warm” and signed agreements halving Chinese tariffs on UK whisky and introducing visa-free travel. The UK and China also agreed to a feasibility study on opening markets for business and financial services, though officials stressed it is “not a trade deal”. Trump renewed criticism of Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney for similar engagement with China, claiming such moves threaten North American and allied interests. British officials hope Starmer’s China visit will secure business deals worth billions and demonstrate a “sophisticated” approach to the UK-China relationship.

Not a good idea to get too close of course. Just look at Germany and Russia. But hedging is good in this new world disorder.

“Trump warns” has achieved the same status of “China warns” and “Russia warns” i.e. totally irrelevant and should be ignored
