Trump's Contradictory China Policy Questioned
The U.S. is trying to stop China from gaining power in Central America by restricting visas.
Some people think this is good, but others are confused because the U.S. also seems to be helping China's friend, Russia, by possibly making deals with them.
It looks like the U.S. is saying one thing but doing another.
Some experts believe these actions are not consistent with each other.
The U.S. announced visa restrictions for Central American officials allegedly acting on behalf of the CCP.
Critics say Trump's actions shield Beijing rather than confronting it.
The administration's approach is inconsistent, especially regarding Russia.
U.S. has explored oil deals with Russia, contradicting its anti-Moscow stance.
Trump's strategy has arguably hastened China's global advance.
