WASHINGTON - That China-US relations are on the rocks was left in no doubt on Thursday (May 14) when President Donald Trump told Fox News that there were "many things we could do" to China.
"We could cut off the whole relationship," he said, later adding that he does not want to talk to China President Xi Jinping - whom he has been careful not to criticise personally - at the moment.
