Public security minister signals willingness to tackle Trump priorities in meeting with American envoy, but US must ‘meet China halfway’
China has expressed willingness to work with the United States on anti-drug efforts and the repatriation of illegal immigrants – two priorities for US President Donald Trump – but urged “mutual respect” from Washington.
According to Xinhua, Perdue said he was willing to serve as a communicator and promoter of US-China relations and to advance exchanges and cooperation in areas such as drug control law enforcement.
Last year, Beijing and Washington held several meetings to discuss closer cooperation, and law enforcement agencies on both sides have set up anti-drug hotlines to share information.
