Despite the grand reception accorded to Trump in Beijing, several major trade and geopolitical disputes remained unresolved, including issues linked to the Ukraine-Russia conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump and Xi discussed the war in Ukraine \u2014 which has continued for more than four years \u2014 as well as the US leader\u2019s ongoing conflict with Iran. However, Trump departed China on Friday without any apparent breakthrough on either issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While China has repeatedly called for negotiations to end the fighting in Ukraine, Beijing has never condemned Russia\u2019s decision to send troops into Ukraine in February 2022 and continues to portray itself as a neutral party in the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China has also denied supplying Russia with weapons or military components for its defence industry, instead accusing Western nations of prolonging Europe\u2019s deadliest conflict since World War II by continuing to arm Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the world\u2019s largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels, China has emerged as Moscow\u2019s most important economic partner, particularly after Western countries imposed sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports following the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US-brokered negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine have appeared stalled since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war with Iran on February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moscow has meanwhile ruled out agreeing to a ceasefire or broader peace negotiations with Ukraine unless Kyiv accepts the Kremlin\u2019s sweeping demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOSCOW: Vladimir Putin will travel to China on May 19 for a two-day visit, shortly after US President Donald Trump concluded his trip to Beijing, the Kremlin said on Saturday.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2199,2200,72],"class_list":["post-4170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-putin-xi-jinping","tag-russia-china-relations","tag-vladimir-putin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
