President Trump may address Chinese sanctions against South Korea in his meetings this week with China President Xi Jinping, according to a senior White House official. The installation of the United States’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system in South Korea has angered Beijing enough for the Chinese government to institute retaliatory economic sanctions against the American ally.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes up,” said the White House official when pressed on whether President Trump will bring up the issue of China’s sanctions, which have included closing Chinese locations of a Korean department-store chain and banning Chinese tourist groups from visiting South Korea.
