Interior Secretary Doug Burgum argued President Donald Trump<\/a> is entering this week\u2019s high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the “strongest position” of any American leader.<\/p>\n

Burgum joined “Fox & Friends” Tuesday to preview Trump\u2019s trip to Beijing, explaining how China<\/a>\u2019s reliance on foreign resources puts them in a weakened state during negotiations.<\/p>\n

“President Trump\u2019s in the strongest position of any U.S. leader ever going into a discussion with China,” Burgum said. “The U.S. economy is strong. China’s economy is faltering. It’s just a great spot.”<\/p>\n

He said China is vulnerable due to its energy dependency. Burgum pointed to Trump\u2019s “geopolitical game” of restricting China\u2019s access to cheap Venezuelan and Iranian oil as a key factor in bolstering U.S. leverage.<\/p>\n

“China is the most energy-dependent country in the world, just the opposite of the U.S., which is the most energy-dominant country in the world,” Burgum said.<\/p>\n

“Their strategic stockpile is dwindling and their economy is faltering. They’re super dependent on imported energy,” he added.<\/p>\n

Burgum also said China imports large amounts of food to feed its population, while the United States has a surplus. “China also imports calories every day. They don’t raise enough food to feed everybody in that country,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got energy security and food security in America. China has neither of those things. He’s in a great position in these negotiations,” Burgum added.<\/p>\n

During the trip, the Trump administration is expected to pressure China<\/a> over its support for Iran and Russia. U.S. officials are also expected to address China\u2019s restrictions on materials needed for advanced semiconductors.<\/p>\n

Other major business tycoons are expected to accompany Trump to China, including SpaceX founder Elon Musk<\/a> and Apple CEO Tim Cook. In a post on Truth Social,<\/a> the president said he is “very much looking forward” to his trip, calling China an “amazing country” with a leader that is “respected by all.”<\/p>\n

Trump visited China during his first term<\/a> in November 2017. The two world leaders were originally set to meet at the end of March, but the outbreak of fighting in Iran pushed it back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
