We show you our most important and recent visitors news details 'Very dangerous' to do business with China, Trump warns UK as Starmer hails progress in Beijing talks in the following article
Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said it is "very dangerous" for the UK to deal with China, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai on the third day of his visit to the country.
The US president was reacting to agreements aimed at increasing business and investment between the UK and China, announced after Starmer met Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Speaking at the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania on Thursday, Trump went on to refer to Xi as a "friend" of his and said he knew the Chinese president "very well".
Starmer's visit to China is the first by a British premier since 2018 and follows a slew of Western leaders seeking a rapprochement with Beijing recently, seen by many as a pivot from an increasingly unpredictable United States.
In response to Trump's comments, Downing Street said that the White House had been aware of Starmer's trip and its objectives in advance and pointed out that Trump himself is due to visit China in April.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also visited China in mid-January and reached agreements on trade and tourism.

Afterward, Trump threatened to hit Canadian imports with 100% tariffs if Carney made further deals with Beijing, a threat the Canadian PM later dismissed as a negotiating tactic.
"It's even more dangerous, I think, for Canada to get into business with China. Canada is not doing well. They're doing very poorly, and you can't look at China as the answer," Trump said.
Meanwhile, Starmer arrived in China’s financial centre Shanghai on Friday in his bid to boost business opportunities for UK firms in the world's second-largest economy.
Starmer has brought more than 50 business leaders on his trip.
Starmer said on Friday that he had had "very good meetings" with Xi, that had provided "just the level of engagement that we hoped for."
"We warmly engaged and made some real progress, actually, because the UK has got a huge amount to offer," he said at the Bank of China in Beijing. — Agencies
