NEWS AND ANALYSIS:


The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee does not share President Trump’s enthusiasm for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit this week.

Sen. Roger F. Wicker took to the Senate floor to announce that if he had been asked, Mr. Xi would not have been invited or given the planned, grandiose state visit culminating in a White House banquet set for Thursday.

The chairman then outlined a number of issues he wants Mr. Trump to raise with the Chinese Communist Party leader at the dinner, including a response to reports that
China supplied Iran with intelligence that led to the deaths of Americans in the Middle East, and about Beijing’s “massive” military buildup.

“This summer, it was all over the press that
China gave Iran satellite imagery intelligence, and that intelligence led to the death of American troops,” the Mississippi Republican said.

“So I would certainly suggest that the president try to get an answer to that.” 

Mr. Wicker said Mr. Trump will correctly discuss trade and artificial intelligence with Mr. Xi and “perhaps some progress will be made.”
