#MEANWHILE: Just yesterday, China announced that President Xi would be making a "STATE-VISIT" to North Korea this week...the first visit by a Chinese leader in 14 years.

Xi is intentionally making this trip immediately before his highly-anticipated meeting with Trump at the G20.
#ICYMI: This past weekend, Putin celebrated Chinese President Xi's birthday...

The two "best friends" strategized together ahead of the G20, and their individual meetings with Trump.

But of course, Trump is doing ZERO prep b/c he thinks they "like" him.
#RELATED: To Trump, everything is personal...

And that's the problem.

Trump sees everything as a zero-sum gain.

Just like he conducted his businesses, in his mind, a "good deal" is one where he wins by any means necessary...and the other party loses.

Trump thinks a "win-win" means he's losing something.

That's NOT how diplomacy and trade work...
#FACTCHECK: Now onto the substance of his claim...

Trump fails to grasp the idea that the U.S. benefits greatly from the success of our European partners...especially Germany, which produces an large proportion of its cars HERE in the U.S....

#FACTCHECK: Furthermore, following the "stimulus remarks" by Mario Draghi Trump claims "unfairly" benefited Germany...U.S. stocks are up.

Moreover, Trump has called for the U.S. Fed to cut rates, but is angry when the European Central Bank does just that.

I'll go first. I'm 100% okay with the DNC/Clinton Campaign hiring FusionGPS — who contracted Steele, a former-MI6 agent who specializes in Russia, to conduct opposition research on Trump.

Dems simply continued a research effort initiated by conservatives during the GOP Primary.
#FTR: This is part of a Trump/Republican counter-narrative that they keep trying to make happen...

#MORE: Check out the QT below for a thread dismantling this preposterous Trump/Republican counter-narrative...

Let's put it to bed, once and for all!

Why would Trump think this would be treason...?
#HINT: He meant treason against Russia...

Trump is still freaking out after learning U.S. Cyber Command developed offensive capabilities to retaliate and deter Russia from attacking our power grid and infrastructure.

He puts his own interests...and Putin's...above our national security interests.

#China's Xi will meet with Kim Jong Un in #NorthKorea this Thursday & Friday (June 20 to 21).

South Korea stated that it'll involve denuclearization talks.

Of course this'll be right before the G20, where Trump might meet with Xi.
So, will China tell North Korea to completely denuclearize in exchange for removal of US tariffs?

Or will we soon see more long range missiles shooting out of North Korea?
Also don't forget that Xi just had meetings with Russia's Putin as well:

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

#China's Military Modernization Push Remains a Work in Progress - China trails the #US in terms of nuclear attack submarines, aerial refueling & a sufficient amphibious capacity, & it is unlikely to close the gap in the immediate future. worldview.stratfor.com/article/chinas…
Over the past 20 years, China has made tremendous progress in improving its military capabilities, but its modernization program will remain a work in progress in the decade to come.
China trails the US in terms of nuclear attack submarines, aerial refueling & amphibious capacity. Beijing will continue to develop its capabilities on these fronts, but based on current projections, it will not reach parity with the US by 2030.

The Trump administration’s efforts to fast track transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia enjoyed the assistance of a lobbying firm Prime Policy Group (PPG), that represented Ukraine’s then pro-Russian government. #Manafort #Stone #Black
