'They would probably like to buy it': Trump denies weapon sales talks with Xi

<p>US President-elect Donald Trump named political ally and former Georgia senator David Perdue as his pick to be ambassador to China, a key trade partner the Republican has promised to impose punishing tariffs on.</p>

<p>"Tonight, I am announcing that former U.S. Senator, David Perdue, has accepted my appointment as the next United States Ambassador to the People's Republic of China," Trump wrote on social media.</p>

<p>Perdue, 74, a business executive and politician, served as a senator for Georgia from 2015 to 2021, and failed in a bid for governor of the state in 2022.</p>

<p>If confirmed by the Senate, Perdue will play a key role in managing the relationship between the United States and China, the world's two largest economies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Trump ally, he backed the former president's false claims regarding alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential election, which the billionaire Republican lost to Joe Biden.</p>

<p>A special grand jury had recommended indicting Perdue over those claims, but the district attorney ultimately declined to charge him in that case.</p>

<p>Trump ignited a trade war with China during his last term, and has promised to again weaponise the use of tariffs to prioritize US manufacturing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He hailed Perdue as a "loyal supporter" in his social media post, touting his business experience as making him well-suited for the diplomatic role in Beijing.</p>

<p>"He will be instrumental in implementing my strategy to maintain Peace in the region, and a productive working relationship with China's leaders," said Trump.&nbsp;</p>

Trump taps former Georgia senator David Perdue as US envoy to China

<p>A day after the&nbsp;Republican Senator&nbsp;David Perdue mispronounced the Democratic VP elect Kamala Harris' name, Twitter slammed the Senator by starting a unique campaign against the Senator.</p>

<p>The incident happened when&nbsp;Perdue spoke ahead of US President Donald Trump in his rally in Georgia on Friday. He was caught on tape making sun of Harris' name by pronouncing her name in a weird exaggerated manner and then ending it by saying "I don`t know, whatever".</p>

<p>When the video surfaced in the popular social media platform&nbsp;Twitter, people of colour started a campaign in which several users came forward and explained their name and the meaning behind it.</p>

<p>Several South Asian-origin users came forward claiming that their grandmothers mothers were also named Kamala, and not "Kamala-mala-mala, I don’t know, whatever.”</p>

<p>One such user, Gautam Raghavan, tweeted, "#MyNameIs Gautam. It means bright light. The kind of bright light a Biden-Harris Administration will represent. And that is why #IWillVote."</p>
