As It Happens: United States and China
The US decision to disinvite China from upcoming maritime exercises in the Pacific is "non-constructive," China's Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi says. "We find that a very non-constructive move," Wang says at a press conference with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after the two met in Washington. "It's also a decision taken lightly and is unhelpful to mutual understanding between China and the US." — Agence France-Presse
