In China, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with his counterpart amid tense relations and an escalating trade war between the two countries. The talks were marked by a decidedly hostile tone, with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi saying, “We believe China and the U.S. should stick to the correct path of cooperation and win-win, rather than be mired in a wrong path full of conflicts and confrontations.” Both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have publicly accused China of interfering in U.S. elections.
