There was a revelation that US President Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to help his re-election.

Former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton said in an upcoming book, "The Room That Occurred: The White House Memoirs," President Trump called on China to increase US agricultural imports to gain farmers' vote.

Major media outlets in the United States, including the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and The New York Times (NYT), introduced some excerpts from former New York advisors to Bolton on the 17th.

According to an excerpt from the WSJ, President Trump reportedly held a summit meeting with the city's governor at the summit of the top 20 countries (G20) held in Osaka, Japan in June of last year and demanded explicit re-election assistance.

"At that moment, Trump was surprisingly turning the story into the next presidential election in the United States," said Bolton, referring to the aftermath talks between the two leaders at the time. "We eagerly asked Mr. Si to let him win (in the presidential election)."

"President Trump stressed that increasing soybean and wheat imports from farmers and China is important in election results," he added.
When Mr. City agreed to prioritize agricultural matters and resume negotiations, President Trump rejoiced, "You're the greatest Chinese leader in 300 years!" And.

This is expected to wave because President Trump has called on China to buy more US-made agricultural products to win voter votes in farm states, where the US presidential election will take place in November.

Pointing at the conversation at the time, former aide to Bolton said, "It shows that Trump's mind is a mix of his political interests and the national interests of the United States." "I have any of Trump's important decisions in the White House not counted for re-election. "I had a hard time finding it."

He said at the Argentine-US summit in December 2018, "Trump only demanded that China buy more agricultural products to help the agricultural region. If so agreed, all (public) tariffs in the United States would have been reduced."
Based on these examples, former aide adviser Bolton argued that the impeachment outcome would have been different if the Democratic impeachment advocates had not been too obsessed with the Ukrainian issue and took more time to examine his actions throughout Trump's foreign policy.

According to NYT, former aide to Bolton said in a book that President Trump "expressed his intention to stop several criminal investigations in order to give virtually personal benefit to his favorite dictators."

President Trump wants to intervene in investigations into Turkey's Hankbank and ZTE in China.

There have been many anecdotes in President Trump's diplomatic ignorance and non-interventionism, including the US-China issue.

According to NYT, Trump's president seemed unaware of the fact that Britain is a nuclear weapon, and former aide adviser Bolton said, "Is Finland a part of Russia?"

In addition, President Trump is said to have almost made a decision to withdraw from the United States' NATO.

In June of last year, when a crowd of 1.5 million people protested against the repatriation law in Hong Kong, President Trump responded, "I don't want to intervene. We have the same human rights issue."

On the memorial day of the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen incident in China that month, President Trump refused to issue a White House statement, with an inaccurate statement that "it was 15 years ago" and "Who cares about it. I want to negotiate. "I don't want it."
