In his new book H.R. McMaster, one of Trump’s National Security advisors, explains how he tried to prep Trump on a visit to the Far East. McMaster warned Trump that Xi would try to trick him into praising China. He told Trump that the phrase “win-win” really meant “that China won twice.”
Trump seemed to agree, but in the Great Hall of the People Trump agreed with Xi that military exercises in South Korea were “provocative” and a “waste of money.” Trump also suggested that Japan’s Senkaku Islands might actually belong to China.
McMaster passed a note to Gen. John Kelly, the chief of staff. It said Xi “ate our lunch.”
The book is entitled At War With Ourselves. It’s available for $32.50.
