Xi Jinping told Donald Trump last week that Vladimir Putin could regret invading
Ukraine, according to people familiar with the US assessment of their Beijing
summit. The talks covered Ukraine and Trump’s suggestion that the three leaders
co-operate against the International Criminal Court. Xi’s remarks appeared
stronger than previous discussions with former President Joe Biden. Putin is due
in China on Tuesday for a summit with Xi. China’s embassy and the White House
declined comment, while a US factsheet omitted references to Putin or Ukraine.
