Former US President Donald Trump has once again taken aim at the media, labelling reports as 'fake news' amid revelations of an unexpected diplomatic gesture from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The development has sparked widespread interest, as it comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two global powers.
Trump's Media Critique
Trump, known for his fiery rhetoric, didn't hold back in his criticism of news outlets. 'The fake news media is at it again,' he declared, though he didn't specify which reports he was referring to.
This latest outburst follows a pattern of the former president challenging media narratives throughout his political career.
China's Surprising Move
Meanwhile, Chinese officials revealed what they described as a 'goodwill gesture' from President Xi, though details remain scarce. Analysts suggest this could signal a potential thaw in relations or a strategic positioning ahead of future negotiations.
The nature of the gesture has led to intense speculation in diplomatic circles, with experts divided on its significance and potential implications for US-China relations.
International Reactions
World leaders are closely monitoring the situation, with many hoping this development might lead to reduced tensions between the economic superpowers.
However, some remain sceptical, noting that similar overtures in the past have failed to produce lasting improvements in the complex relationship between Washington and Beijing.
