At a White House breakfast with Republican senators, Donald Trump recounted his recent bilateral meeting with China’s Xi Jinping in Busan, highlighting the strict discipline of Xi’s aides, who stood at attention with arms behind their backs and chins up, showing no response to Trump’s comments. He joked that he wished his own cabinet would behave with the same obedience and playfully urged Vice President JD Vance to mimic the fear and discipline of Xi’s officials, prompting laughter in the room. Trump described Xi as a “very tough negotiator” and noted that their talks focused on longstanding U.S.-China economic disputes.
