00:00US President Donald Trump has said it is very dangerous for close ally United Kingdom to deal with China.
00:08The remarks come as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer travels to Asia for talks with President Xi Jinping.
00:16Well, it's very dangerous for them to do that, and it's even more dangerous, I think, for Canada to get into business with China.
00:23Canada is not doing well, they're doing very poorly, and you can't look at China as the answer.
00:30Downing Street noted that the White House had been aware of Starmer's trip in advance and pointed out that Trump himself is due to visit Xi Jinping in April.
00:41Starmer's visit to China is the first by a British Premier since 2018.
00:47Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also visited China, the world's second largest economy in mid-January, and reached agreements on trade and tourism.
