Jan. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump warned Britain and Canada that their efforts to forge closer trade and diplomatic ties with China were fraught with risks, especially so for Canada.
Responding to a question about Britain "getting into business with China," Trump said it was "very dangerous for them to do that and I think it's even more dangerous for Canada," saying China wasn't the answer to its economic problems.
Trump said it would be a "big hurdle for Canada to get over."
His comments came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai on Friday at the head of a high-level, 60-strong, U.K. diplomatic and business delegation on day two of a three-day visit to China and two weeks after a similar visit by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
