Trump Just Humiliated Himself Right Before Meeting With Chinese President
Ahead of Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the White House issued the readout of the Trump-Xi pre-bilateral remarks.
The readout mistakenly refers to China as the “Republic of China.”
China is officially the “People’s Republic of China.”
In actuality, the “Republic of China” is Taiwan
, a distinction that anyone who’s taken a social studies class – not to mention been elected the leader of the free world – should know.
The gaffe is especially serious given the weight China places on the “One China principle,” which asserts that both Taiwan and mainland China are inalienable parts of a single “China.”
The White House’s error caps off yet another weekend among international leaders in which Trump proved himself woefully unprepared for his new le.
Trump’s attendance at the G20 summit was rife with gaffes,
from the Polish President’s wife’s handshake snub to
Trump dozing off at a meeting with world leaders.
