AGENCIES: US President Donald Trump, already facing an impeachment inquiry after urging Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden, has now urged China to do likewise.
He said both China and Ukraine should look into Mr Biden, a Democratic presidential front-runner, and his son.
“China should start an investigation into the Bidens,” said Mr Trump.
The Democrats accuse Trump of dangling military aid as a way to press Ukraine to dig dirt on Biden.
A 25 July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky triggered an intelligence community whistle-blower complaint and the impeachment inquiry.
But Trump said on Thursday that the inquiry, which could culminate in a congressional attempt to remove him from office, is “crap”.
