A Fox News guest concluded that President Donald Trump had “control” of a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping because of the handshake the president gave.
Trump met with Xi in Busan, South Korea on Wednesday night (late Thursday morning, local time) amid the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, which Trump supercharged in April when he rolled out sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries. Shortly before the meeting, Trump boasted that the U.S. has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and that “China is a distant third.” The president also announced that the U.S. would begin retesting nuclear weapons, which it has not done since 1992.
Before the meeting, some of which was aired live, Trump shook hands with his Chinese counterpart. The handshake so impressed Republican consultant Michelle Backus, she deemed Trump had command of the situation:
I keep thinking back to when Kamala Harris was running. And I keep thinking, thank God that we have President Trump in office and not Kamala Harris going over there and dealing with him because I’ll tell you what – it’d be a completely different situation.
But I think President Trump knows more than anyone to keep his guard up. There’s a lot of foreign interests at hand here, and this is an America First agenda. This is what we voted for: strong foreign policy. And you even see the way he’s shaking his hand. President Trump has control of that room, and I have a lot of confidence in this meeting.
After Trump and Xi exchanged pleasantries at their sit-down, a reporter asked the U.S. president about his nuclear testing announcement.
“Mr. President, why did you change your nuclear plans?” she asked. “Why are you gonna be doing more nuclear testing?”
“Thank you very much, everybody,” Trump responded. “Thank you very much.”
