Former President Donald Trump stated that he agrees with Chinese President Xi Jinping's assessment of the United States as a declining nation, attributing this decline to the policies of President Joe Biden. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Biden's administration for issues such as open borders, high taxes, and crime, claiming that the U.S. suffered significantly during this period. He contrasted this with what he described as an 'incredible rise' during his own administration, citing record stock markets and a booming job market. Trump also mentioned military successes and a positive relationship with Venezuela, asserting that Xi was not referring to the progress made during his presidency. He expressed optimism for future U.S.-China relations and highlighted the influx of foreign investment into the U.S. as a sign of recovery.
