Trump overheard asking President Xi if the pandas know kung fu

Donald Trump has been overheard asking President Xi if the two giant pandas being gifted to the US know any kung fu.

Known as ‘panda diplomacy’ in China, two giants pandas named Ping Ping and Fu Shuang will make their way to Atlanta as a gesture of goodwill, with President Trump reportedly excited to see what kind of martial arts the pandas can do.

“We overheard Trump asking about the pandas’ kung fu capabilities during the meeting in the Oval Office,” said reporter Simon Williams.

“He was explaining to President Xi how the Kung Fu Panda film series was his favourite and that he was really looking forward to seeing some ‘cool shit’ from Ping Ping and Fu Shuang. Although, he was slightly disappointed neither one of them was named Po.

“President Xi let out a little laugh, but slowly realised Trump wasn’t joking. He was being deadly serious. At one point the translator even had to tell the US president, ‘No, Master Shifu didn’t make the trip over I’m afraid.’ I’d never seen Trump so disappointed.

“It’s sounds ridiculous, but it’s actually damaged the US-China relations quite a bit. They were supposed to be talking about things like trade and artificial intelligence. Now all Trump can think about is who’s going to stop Tai Lung from acquiring the Dragon Scroll.

“The visit is off to a terrible start.”
