PM'S TALKS WITH CHINA'S PREMIER

But he's silent on agenda as fears grow on Trump&trade

- DAVE BURKE

KEIR Starmer will today become the first PM since Theresa May to hold face-to-face talks with the Chinese president.

Mr Starmer will meet Xi Jinping at the G20 summit as world leaders descend on Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The Prime Minister told reporters last night that he plans to have a "serious" discussion with Mr Xi but did not say what about.

It comes amid heightened tensions between the UK and Beijing, with no meeting held between leaders since 2018.

Labour has previously suggested the Chinese government is committing genocide of Uyghur Muslims.
