MOSCOW — Chinese President Xi Jinping joined with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in lashing out at U.S. global dominance, highlighting the two powers’ growing confrontation with the administration of Donald Trump.

“Along with the emergence of reverse-globalization and hegemonism, global society faces increasing new challenges,” Xi said Friday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The U.S. is attempting to “impose its jurisdiction across the entire world,” Putin said. This was pushing the world on a “path to permanent conflicts, trade wars, and maybe not only trade ones,” he said.
