President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping puts the Russia-Ukraine war under a new diplomatic spotlight, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Trump to use Xi’s influence over Vladimir Putin to advance efforts to end the war. Trump also has new sanctions authority that could raise the economic cost for major buyers of Russian oil, while China remains a crucial market for Moscow’s energy exports. At the same time, Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev has maintained contacts with members of Trump’s inner circle. The key question is whether Washington and Beijing can turn their economic leverage over Moscow into meaningful diplomatic pressure — and whether Ukraine remains central to any future Russia deal. #trump #xijinping #china #russia #ukraine #putin #zelenskyy #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #trumpxi #sanctions #russiaoil #geopolitics #peace talks #war #usa #moscow #washington #beijing #timesnowworld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time gl
