During meetings at the United Nations on Tuesday and with China’s Xi Jinping on Thursday, President Donald Trump will find himself largely isolated on the international stage. The upcoming events underscore his solitary position in global politics.
On Wednesday, Trump plans to meet with Xi at Joint Base Andrews, marking a significant diplomatic encounter. This meeting follows Xi’s hospitality in Beijing back in May, where Trump was welcomed with a formal ceremony at the Great Hall of the People. Now, Xi is making a reciprocal visit to the United States.
As Trump prepares for these high-profile discussions, he does so as a leader increasingly distanced from traditional alliances. His approach to foreign policy often diverges from that of many partners, setting the stage for a complex dialogue with Xi, his significant geopolitical counterpart.
