The Trump administration's recent allegations and actions against China have "directly impacted out mutual trust and cast a shadow over our bilateral relations," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Monday, casting the sudden deterioration in the relationship in surprisingly undiplomatic terms. "We urge the U.S. to stop such misguided activities. We believe that we need to keep our relationship on the right track," Wang told Pompeo at the start of a meeting in the afternoon. Pompeo responded by saying that Washington and Beijing were stuck in a "fundamental disagreement" that he hoped they could make some progress on resolving. Before reporters were ushered from the room, Pompeo focused instead on what the two sides agreed on: the importance of denuclearizing of North Korea. |
