Trump Is Holding Back From Calling Out China Over Russia War Aid

President Donald Trump is holding back from pushing China to halt support for Russia’s war machine as he focuses on other issues in the relationship with its biggest geopolitical rival, according to US and European officials familiar with the matter.

The US administration will hone in on bilateral concerns with Beijing as it pushes the conflict in Ukraine further down the list of American foreign policy priorities, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. Some cautioned that Trump could still change his stance at any time.
