Trump on Economic Talks with China: ‘If We Can Open up China and Make It Fair for the First Time Ever...I Am Very Willing To Do It’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "We’re going to meet at the G20. We’re going to have dinner. President Xi and I have agreed to meet at the G20. We'll be having dinner, we’ll be discussing it. But I think a very good deal will be made with China. They want to make it very badly. We want to make a deal if we can. A lot of progress has been made. A lot of progress. And they understand that if a deal isn’t made, we’re doing very well the way we’re doing it right now. You understand that. $250 billion at 25 percent. And it could be elevated by another $267 billion at 25 percent or more. So, we’re doing very well. But I believe, I know they want to make a deal. They’ve been hit very hard. Their economy has been very, very bad. I will say this, if we can make the right deal for this country and also if they will make the right deal for them, if we can open up China and make it fair for the first time ever, this should have been done years ago by other presidents, but it wasn’t. I am very willing to do it. But China very much wants to make a deal."
