Trump Says China and Russia Face Economic Struggles

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that both China and Russia are "not doing well economically," contrasting their performance with what he described as continued strength in the U.S. economy. Trump’s remarks, delivered during public comments on 15 August, did not include specific figures but come as Washington’s trade tensions with Beijing and Moscow remain high. He offered no new policy proposals, instead framing the relative economic conditions as evidence that U.S. strategies are working.
