All right, Alexander, let's talk about the United States and China and the trade talks that, I guess, are taking place.

We did have a call between Trump and Xi Jinping, and both sides said it was a good call.

They both like each other, both leaders.

Obviously, they can talk to each other, which is a good thing.

The bad thing is that it looks like China is telling the Trump administration,

don't you dare move forward with more tariffs or any type of sanctions.

And I believe that includes the, uh, the secondary, uh, sanctions that Lindsay Graham is trying to

cook up to, uh, to sink the Russian economy, which is really nothing more than an embargo on

China and on India.

So, uh, more, more warnings, a good atmosphere between both leaders, it appears,

if you go by the readout, but still a lot of tension.

And once again, warnings from China to the U.S. to not escalate this.

The more interesting account of this call in some ways comes from China.

The Chinese foreign ministry has provided the usual exceptionally detailed, very long readout

of the call.

And it is very interesting, actually, because the personal warmth and liking for Donald

Trump, the person is there.

And this is very unusual.

I mean, you certainly never saw anything like that in, you know, Chinese readouts of the conversations between Biden and C.

I mean, Biden and C couldn't stand each other.

And the Chinese didn't like Biden at all.

They thought him treacherous and, you know, far from straightforward.
