Donald Trump Jr. Warns Zurich Investors Against China Bets as Trump Seeks Better 2-Nation Trade Ties

Summary
At an invitation-only Zurich event on Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. told investors he would not put money into China when asked directly about investing there.
Trump Jr. said he does not view China as an ally and called it foolish to pretend otherwise, framing his warning as a geopolitical risk judgment.
The remarks cut against President Donald Trump's administration, which is still moving ahead with plans to improve commercial ties between the two countries.
That contrast highlights a split between the administration's trade outreach and the harder China stance voiced by the president's eldest son before investors.
