China / U.S. Relations

During a Morning Joe conversation centered on an editorial in the English-language Chinese newspaper the Global Times about China’s increased pressure on North Korea to end provocations, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle asks Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations: “I’m wondering, given that there’s fairly optimistic tones in that editorial… and at the same time…we have the Vice President of the United States on the deck of an aircraft carrier in Tokyo Bay sort of rattling sabers. What story is best for us?” Listen to Haass’ response here and his praise for the Trump Administration following President Donald Trump’s first face-to-face meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping earlier this month.
