As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, US President Donald Trump believes Chinese leader Xi Jinping holds the key to peace. Trump expressed his hope for China's mediation during the World Economic Forum and in a call with Xi. While Trump's recent tariffs on Chinese goods complicate the situation, the war could create an opportunity for collaboration. Despite China's longstanding support for Russia, its desire to avoid escalating trade tensions with the US might incentivize its involvement. However, balancing cooperation with Russia and potentially navigating Western expectations would be a delicate act for Xi.
As the war in Ukraine grinds toward its fourth year, US President Donald Trump has made clear which world leader he thinks can help America end the conflict: Vladimir Putin’s ally Xi Jinping. “Hopefully, China can help us stop the war with, in particular, Russia-Ukraine … they have a great deal of power over that situation, and we’ll work with them,” Trump told political and business elites gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last month.
How much Trump would look to work alongside Xi – and whether the Chinese leader is amenable – may also depend to an extent on those parameters, observers say. Western leaders in the past have tried, without success, to persuade Xi to push Putin toward a peace in line with the one advocated for by Zelensky and Ukraine.
