Wow. Wicker says Trump shouldn’t have invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House for “such a lavish” state visit this week.
In pointed floor speech, Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker says that as Xi visits that Trump "should keep in mind that his guest is a brutal, unelected and oppressive dictator who seeks to dominate his neighbors and whose massive military arsenal is aimed directly" at the USA
Wicker says had Trump asked him he "would have suggested the president not invite [Xi] to Washington for such a lavish welcome here in the United States of America"
Says Trump should ask Xi about China military build-up, the thousands of Uighur people who "have been sent to concentration camps," political prisoners and China's "interference in the internal affairs of nations around the world"
