Republican Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker publicly criticized President Donald Trump's lavish state visit planned for Chinese President Xi Jinping, urging Trump to confront Xi on military and human rights issues. In a Senate floor speech on September 22, Wicker said he would have advised against the extravagant welcome. He demanded Trump question China's military buildup, alleged satellite intelligence sharing with Iran linked to US soldier deaths, and Uyghur human rights abuses. Wicker, a strong Taiwan supporter known for hawkish views on China, called Xi a "brutal, unelected dictator" and urged Trump to remember this during their meetings.
