Axios first reported Wednesday.
A spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, Wang Wenbin, on Thursday denied the accusation, calling it “defamation and slander against China” as “completely absurd” and “fake news. “
Declassification occurs when Trump’s leadership tries to keep pressure on China for the past few weeks in the president’s office.
U. S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien verbally briefed the president on intelligence, which was also included in a briefing for Trump on December 17, according to the official.
The official said U. S. government agencies were running to corroborate the initial information.
Management adopted a radically different technique for non-enabled information, declassifying it and verifying that it is running for verification, compared to the sharp decline in the White House when the New York Times reported over the summer that Trump had been informed of an intelligence assessment. that Russia had done the same, providing bonuses to U. S. troops in Afghanistan.
At the time, Trump tossed the report as a “hoax” and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized the Times and downplayed the underlying as unverified.
Instead of backtracking now, as he did in the case of the Russia report, management is intelligence to more publicly attack China, which Trump has described as an enemy larger than Russia.
