Antony Blinken winces as Biden brands Xi a 'dictator'
Показать описание
Antony Blinken appeared uneasy as Joe Biden branded Xi Jinping a “dictator” and briefed the press that a deal to free Israeli hostages could be imminent.
During a press conference following his meeting with the Chinese leader in California, Mr Biden apologised to his secretary of state for revealing too much on the state of Hamas-Israel hostage negotiations.
The US President said: “I don’t want to get ahead of myself here... but we have gotten great cooperation from the Qataris”, a key intermediary between Israel and Hamas.
Mr Biden remarked about a “pause the Israelis have agreed to” as he described progress toward a deal, before cutting himself off as the US secretary of state sat stony-faced.
The president went on to say: “I’m giving too much detail. I know Mr Secretary, I’m going to stop. But I am mildly hopeful.”
