Rubio to Raise Trump-Xi Summit Prospect in Asia Tour

🤝 DIPLOMACY — Trump attacked Beijing publicly; now Rubio may be offering a summit. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Hours after Trump fired China allegations and poisoned Beijing's Iran mediation channel, Rubio floating a Trump-Xi summit reactivates a back-channel the president just damaged. Beijing will read the gap between Trump's rhetoric and Rubio's outreach as either a good-cop play or internal incoherence — neither invites trust. The question is whether Xi treats a summit offer as leverage or insult.
