Trump says 'very dangerous' for UK to deal with China

Donald Trump said it was "very dangerous" for the UK to deal with China, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer continued his visit to Beijing to reset relations.
The US president was reacting to agreements aimed at increasing business and investment between the UK and China, announced after Sir Keir met Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of a three-day trip.
"Well it's very dangerous for them to do that," Trump said at the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania when asked what he thought of Britain increasing business ties with China.

Trump did not say anything further about the UK's engagement with China, pivoting instead to Canada and delivering a similar warning.
He said it was "even more dangerous, I think, for Canada".
"Canada is not doing well. They're doing very poorly, and you can't look at China as the answer," he added.
Trump earlier this week threatened to impose tariffs on Canada if it went through with economic deals struck with China on a recent visit to Beijing by its Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
