- Roger Wicker slammed Chinese President Xi Jinping on the Senate floor Tuesday, ahead of Xi's summit with President Trump in Washington, D.C.
- Wicker said that had the White House asked him for 'advice,' he would have suggested Trump 'not in' (hosting the summit), though the source cuts off mid-sentence.
Why it matters: Wicker, a GOP senator, publicly criticizing Xi just before a Trump-hosted summit signals intra-party pressure on the administration's China engagement strategy, though the full scope of his remarks is not available in the truncated source.
