WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows in Washington with his approach to China. Concerns are growing that he might offer concessions that could hurt U.S. interests in his quest to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. There is no firm plan for a meeting, but many believe it must happen for a trade deal. Some worry Xi is leveraging Trump’s eagerness for concessions. Taiwan fears it could be “trade-able” in negotiations. Critics say Trump may cave to China to reach a deal. Meanwhile, export controls have been eased, causing concern among lawmakers about national security.
