President Donald Trump said Friday he would keep his desire for China to investigate the Biden family separate from high-stakes trade talks with Beijing.
A day earlier, the president said "China should start an investigation" into Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Trump's efforts to get Ukraine's government to probe the former vice president prompted the House impeachment inquiry into whether the president abused his power by trying to get a foreign government to influence one of his chief rivals in the 2020 election.
Trump's comments Thursday raised concerns about whether he could use a probe into the Bidens as part of ongoing trade talks with China, one of his biggest domestic and foreign policy priorities. The world's two largest economies have tried to strike a trade deal amid a conflict that has threatened to drag on global economic growth.
