The president of the United States, Donald Trump, avoided this Friday, in response to questions from journalists, to classify the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, as a “dictator” and assured that this issue does not arise.

"I'm not thinking about it. He is the president of China. I'm not thinking about it," he declared to the press onboard the presidential airplane Air Force One returning to Washington, after having met Xi in Beijing.

The American leader made these statements when a journalist asked him if he believes that Xi is a “dictator”, a term used by his predecessor, the Democrat Joe Biden.

“What I think is that President Biden was an incompetent president. He gave us the nuclear deal that allowed Iran to get a nuclear weapon,” Trump declared, even though the nuclear deal was with Barack Obama.

In June 2023, then President Biden, who never traveled to China during his term, called Xi a “dictator” for the confrontation over a alleged Chinese spy balloon in the United States, a term that he repeated after meeting with the Chinese leader in November of that year in San Francisco (USA).

Trump concluded this Friday a two-day visit to Beijing with the objective of seeking stability between the two great world powers, a trip marked by the economic disruptions of the Iran war.

The meeting between the two was marked by harmony and Trump rated this Friday his state visit to China as “very successful”, according to Xinhua, and reintroduced Xi as an “old friend” with whom he maintains a “good”relationship.

The staging of closeness had its highpoint in Zhongnanhai, the complex of the Chinese Communist Party, where both walked among ancient trees and rose bushes It's before a shortcut meeting, with Trump praising the complex's flowers and Xi promising to send him seeds for the White House's Rose Garden.
