No Red Carpet for Obama in China, and Merkel’s Approval Rating Plunges to a Five-Year Low

Listen to the Trumpet Daily radio program that aired on September 5, 2016.

Every world leader who arrived in China over the weekend for the G-20 summit was welcomed on a red carpet, except for United States President Barack Obama. Over the few days of his visit, the president’s entourage and the accompanying U.S. press have faced numerous obstacles from Chinese officials. President Obama dismissed the obvious snub by China, saying he wasn’t alarmed by it and that it has happened before in other nations. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses the latest from the U.S. president’s China visit. Also tune in to hear how Angela Merkel’s waning popularity has become more clear after recent elections.
