Tusk urges US, Russia, China cooperation

Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, has asked for the US, Russia and China to work with Europe to avoid conflict.

European Council President Donald Tusk has urged US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and China to work with Europe to avoid trade wars and prevent conflict and chaos.

Tusk was speaking on Monday in Beijing at the opening of a summit between China and the European Union. He noted that Trump and Putin's summit in Helsinki would take place on the same day.

Of the summit, Tusk said: "We are all aware of the fact that the architecture of the world is changing before our very eyes and it is our common responsibility to make it a change for the better."

Tusk said Europe, China, the US and Russia had a "common duty" not to destroy the global order but to improve it by reforming international trade rules.
