[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] Foreign media disclosed that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will visit Washington this week and meet with US President Joe Biden. The two sides will focus on China’s supply of weapons to Russia. It shows that sanctions against China are imminent.

"Politician" reported that the European Union was in dispute over whether China would provide Russian weapons. Last Thursday (2nd), senior diplomats from Ukraine, the United States, Canada, Poland, the Baltic countries, Japan and South Korea gathered in Brussels and had lunch .

The inviter, Poland's permanent representative to the EU, declined to disclose details of the discussions, saying only that the meeting was aimed at expressing support for Ukraine.

A senior diplomat said that at least one delegate at the meeting believed that the EU should not act without evidence of Chinese arms deliveries to Russia, but that if the evidence was solid then China had clearly crossed a red line.

Another EU official, who was not at the meeting, said the United States had yet to provide evidence that China planned to supply arms to Russia.

Although European countries are arguing endlessly over whether China will provide arms to Russia, European officials have warned Beijing. German Chancellor Scholz called out to China in front of members of Congress on the 2nd not to provide arms to the aggressor Russia.

Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra also said on the same day that if "any country" crosses that line, it will bear the consequences.

However, since US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that Chinese companies are already providing non-lethal support to Russia, new information suggests that Beijing can provide lethal military support.

In order to reach a consensus between the United States and Europe, European Commission President von der Leyen will visit Washington this week.

The White House also confirmed that von der Leyen will meet with Biden during his visit to the United States. In addition to focusing on the possibility of China supplying arms to Russia, it will also discuss the US "Inflation Reduction Act" and a wide range of security issues.

Before visiting the United States, Fondelane will go to Canada to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss the supply of raw materials. Another hot potato is trade, because the EU-Canada trade agreement still needs to be ratified by EU countries.
