Trump downplays Chinese election interference five days after describing breach of historic proportions

“It took place a long time ago. I think China is maybe a little bit different today than it was then,” he said, despite his accusation last week during a primetime speech that China had illicitly acquired 220 million US voter files starting in 2020 and that the “data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare

Trump on Tuesday then said the alleged infringement was no different from US actions against China.

“They do things and we do things to them,” he said. “I’ll be honest, we do things to them too. It’s not a one-way street.”

A day after Trump’s speech, a White House official said planning was continuing apace for President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the United States in September.

you know I like unironiclly he we do it too honesty but how come hes never this reasonable and forgiving with GOOD people

also a state visit in diplomatic terms means a celebration type event i dont know if our relationship is good enough for one
