Biden Skillfully Handled Xi Jinping’s U.S. Visit in Ways Trump Simply Never Could

www.thedailybeast.com Biden Skillfully Handled Xi Jinping’s U.S. Visit in Ways Trump Simply Never Could

The president was gracious but tough, candid but thoughtful, and unlike his predecessor, did not sell out the country to a dictator.

Had Donald Trump been the U.S. president hosting this week’s APEC meetings, I have no doubt that the headline from the event would have been unchanged. It would have been: “He’s a dictator.”

The only difference is it would be Xi Jinping who was saying it to describe Trump.

Other than that, though, a Trump-hosted APEC meeting would likely have been unrecognizably different from the successful and productive forum hosted by President Joe Biden.
