... because of the Iran war ...

So, Pres Trump apparently thought his Iran War would be over before his China summit?

Is a month's delay in the summit going to be enough?

ermmmmm

The China-Iran Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, formally signed in 2021 as a 25-year agreement, binds Iran to supply oil to China in exchange for significant, yet slowly implemented, Chinese investments in Iran's infrastructure, energy, and technology sectors. As Iran's largest trading partner, China provides a vital economic lifeline by purchasing ~90% of Iran's oil, helping it navigate U.S. sanctions.

I hope (pffffttt) he has a (snark) plan...

Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud does...

recalcitrant OPEC members must suffer...

Putin and Xi treat Donnie like one of Epstein's girls.

And he doesn't even bite back.

Now he's going to want piece of China's solar energy sales to Cuba... er, Trumpcuba, the new state.

Wonder which will be first, Trumpcuba or Trumpezuela?

Sorry, but this all feels like Trump's disability is showing, bit by bit he seems to be losing the ability to listen and process information and carry on intelligent conversations...Not his fault, at this point his handlers are just delighted to manipulate him so that their own private wars can be fought, including attacking the independent media.
