YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump accused China of interfering with US elections in 2020, threatening to upend ties with the world’s second-biggest economy as he focuses on securing a victory in the midterms in November. Speaking in a prime-time address from the White House on Thursday night, Trump said the Chinese government stole 220 million voter files, including names, addresses and other sensitive data in what is “believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history” — claims that US intelligence agencies have previously debunked. Trump made the allegations months ahead of a planned visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the US in September, part of broader efforts by his administration to stabilize ties and maintain a trade truce struck last year. Trump also accused intelligence agencies of concealing information about China’s efforts to meddle in the 2020 election ultimately won by former President Joe Biden.
