News snippet: Donald Trump has warned the UK against doing business with China, just hours after Keir Starmer lauded the economic relationship during a landmark visit to Beijing.
The US president said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to pursue closer ties with the rival superpower as the prime minister’s three-hour talks with leader Xi Jinping underlined a thaw in previously strained relations.
Starmer, the first British prime minister to travel to Beijing in eight years, promised a “more sophisticated” relationship with China, as he secured improved market access, lower tariffs and investment deals.
But in Washington, replying to questions about Starmer’s attempts at an economic reset, Trump said: “Well, it’s very dangerous for them to do that.”

Trump is an erratic, unreliable partner who regularly throws tantrums. Hopefully more leaders treat him like the baby he is. America is powerful, but not strong enough to take on the entire world. America can end this by being rational, reasonable, reliable, and treat allies like allies again.

America really is going through a death spiral, his first instinct when an ally gets close to China is to punish them but he’s too stupid to realize that only reinforces the decision for them to get closer to China.
