World Leaders Are Criticizing Donald Trump's Approach to Foreign Policy
Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping both fired broadsides at President Donald Trump Tuesday during a summit of emerging market economies that underscored the growing divide between global superpowers on trade, climate and foreign policy.
Putin called the U.S. approach towards North Korea, which emphasizes economic sanctions against the rogue nation following its repeated tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles and atomic weaponry, "useless and ineffective" and stressed the need for security guarantees to Pyongyang in order to cool the region's simmering tensions.
"They'll eat grass, but they won't abandon their program unless they feel secure," Putin was reported to have said, according to Bloomberg, on the sidelines of a summit of so-called BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and other emerging market economies in the southeast port city of Xiamen.
