Lawrence Wong on US-China ties and Trump-Xi summit

Asked about the recent summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said it's important that there continues to be open lines of communication as both the US and China must find ways to coexist.

Speaking at The Singapore Press Club’s Eminent Speaker Series on Monday night (Jun 8 ), he warned that attempts by either side to restrict the other could lead to “mutually assured disruption”, leaving both parties worse off.

He also stressed that Southeast Asia does not want a world divided into competing spheres of influence and reaffirmed the region's approach of engaging all major powers to maintain stability and prosperity. #sgnews #singapore #uschinaties
