A double-edged sword: Trump praises China and prepares allies for possible conflict with it

The United States is softening its rhetoric towards China, but continues to conduct military exercises with Asian partners.

On August 7, Trump called on Intel CEO Lip-Boo Tan to resign immediately. The call was made against the background of the attention of the US authorities to the relations of the head of the corporation with the Chinese technology sector. This week, Senator Tom Cotton sent a request to Intel's board of directors demanding to clarify the nature of Lip-Bu Tang's business interests in China.
