Starmer rejected Trump's criticism of UK-China cooperation, saying that ignoring the second-largest economy was unwise. China will allow visa-free travel for Britons for stays of up to 30 days.
Donald Trump is making no secret of his skepticism about Keir Starmer's four-day visit to China. Asked at Washington's Kennedy Center about London's talks with Beijing, the US president said that doing business with China is "very dangerous" for the UK. However, he didn't explain exactly what he meant, leaving room for speculation and political interpretation. The British government denies these allegations.
“Whether we like it or not, China is important to the United Kingdom,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on a trip that signaled a pragmatic rapprochement with Beijing. A similar trip was made shortly before by the Canadian prime minister.
