President Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to buy U.S. farm products in order to help him win agricultural states in the November election, according to a new book by former national-security adviser John Bolton.
In an excerpt published by the Wall Street Journal of Bolton’s forthcoming book, Bolton recounts a meeting between Trump and Xi, writing that the U.S. president “turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win.”
