The PRC creates more foreign policy and other problems for the United States than Russia. This was announced on Friday, September 18, by US President Donald Trump during a press conference at the White House.
“I think we have more problems because of China than because of Russia. I think that China is a much bigger problem, ”TASS reports.
Trump explained that due to the “plague” of the coronavirus, which “came to the United States from China,” the American economy suffered significant damage at a time “when it showed results that have never happened before.”
The United States is beginning to gradually “open up” after the forced quarantine measures due to the coronavirus and soon the country’s economy will return to good performance, the American president said.
On September 17, Trump criticized the Twitter FBI Director Christopher Ray, who, he said, was more concerned with Moscow than Beijing.
Earlier that day, Ray said at a hearing before the US Congressional National Security Committee that Washington would actively monitor Russia’s actions regarding the presidential campaign and further elections. In his opinion, Moscow can allegedly exert a malicious influence to discredit Trump’s rival, Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
For the first time in the United States, accusations of Russia of interference were heard in 2016 after Trump’s victory in the elections. The Democrats accused Moscow of exerting influence and collusion with Republican Trump.
The Russian Federation and Trump himself categorically rejected the charges. The Kremlin called such statements an internal political struggle. In addition, special investigations by the FBI and other special forces showed no collusion.
