🇨🇳🇺🇸⚡️ China is seeking several conditions before agreeing to resume trade talks with the Trump administration, according to a source familiar with Beijing's stance.

➡️ These include curbing critical remarks from U.S. cabinet members, adopting a more consistent U.S. position, and addressing Chinese concerns over sanctions and Taiwan.

🇺🇸🇨🇳❗️ BREAKING: Two Pentagon officials, Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick, were suspended over a leak about a top-secret China briefing at the Pentagon intended for Elon Musk.

➡️ President Trump personally canceled the briefing, upset over Musk’s involvement due to his ties with China, reportedly saying, "What the fuck is Elon doing there? Make sure he doesn't go.”

➡️ While Trump still supports Musk, officials noted “red lines,” especially on national security. Musk did attend a revised Pentagon briefing that avoided China topics.

📝Despite Trump calling the original New York Times report "fake news," it was accurate until the briefing was altered.
