Donald Trump Wants To Charm China? President's Grandchildren Perform Chinese Song, Poetry For Xi Jinping

President Donald Trump expressed Friday how proud he was of his grandchildren for their performance in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Madame Peng Liyuan's official visit to the U.S. The president retweeted his daughter Ivanka Trump's tweet in which she had posted a video capturing her children, Arabella and Joseph Kushner's performance for the Chinese president and his wife.

Trump's grandchildren, Arabella and her brother Joseph were seen singing a Chinese folk song "Jasmine" and reciting verses from the "Three-Character Classics" as well as Tang dynasty poems to the two presidents in the video, while Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and the others listened to the children's performance.

Ivanks wrote along with her tweet "Very proud of Arabella and Joseph for their performance in honor of President Xi Jinping and Madame Peng Liyuan's official visit to the US!"

This year in February Ivanka also visited Beijing’s embassy in Washington D.C. during the Lunar New Year celebrations. The first daughter visited the ceremony with her daughter Arabella Kushner. Photos and videos of the celebrations were posted on Chinese social media and the term #Trump’sDaughterVisitsChina’sEmbassy in Chinese was one of the topmost searched phrases on one of their micro blogging site named "Weibo." Chinese ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai hosted the event. One Weibo user commented that in spite her father's lack of wishes she attended the celebrations, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Chinese analysts have said that Ivanka has tried to maintain cordial relations with China and thus played a major role in helping combat her father's rather critical approach towards the country, according to South China Morning Post.

Recently Ivanka also posted a picture while celebrating her son Theodore Kushner's birthday in March by sharing Chinese "long life" noodles and captioned the photo saying "Birthday tradition! #noodlesforlonglife."

Trump accepted the invitation from President Jinping to visit China Thursday during their meeting as the Chinese president is in the U.S. on a two day visit from April 6-7 along with his wife Peng Liyuan. Jinping urged the U.S. president for cooperation on investment, energy and infrastructure between the two countries. Trump said he focused on two main issues during their discussions — trade with China and North Korea's nuclear program.
