The UK prime minister met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday as he made the case for a "more sophisticated" relationship between the two countries. Asked by reporters early on Friday about the UK's efforts to strengthen economic ties with China, Trump expressed disapproval. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited China earlier in January as the two countries sought closer economic ties, reaching a preliminary agreement to cut tariffs on selected goods. He will meet businesses in Beijing on Friday as he continues his push to bolster economic ties with China on the final day of his visit to the country. The prime minister will later travel to Shanghai before leaving for Tokyo to meet his Japanese counterpart Sanae Takaichi for a working dinner.
