Trump on Meeting with China: ‘I’ve Been Preparing for It All My Life’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "How prepared are you for this meeting with the President Xi? How are you preparing for it, how confident are you?"

TRUMP: "I am very prepared. I’ve been preparing it all my life. I know every ingredient, I know every statistic. I know better than anybody knows it. My gut has always been right. We are doing very well. And I will tell you, China very much wants to make a deal. China has been take advantage of the United States for many, many years. They have taken out $400, $500, and $600 billion a year. That is not include the theft of intellectual property. That has been horrible, what they’ve been doing. It's not a question of preparing. I think I prepared for this meeting. I had a meeting, literally, right in that corner with the President Xi. We have a great relationship. I like him a lot, I think he likes me. “
