Trump on China Trade Deal: ‘This Is an Epic Deal, Historic, if It Happens’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, I think it’s going to be great for China, in that China will continue to trade with the United States. I mean, otherwise, it would be very tough for us to allow that to happen. And we are — China’s by far biggest trading partners. They are, you know, they are a tremendous trading partner, and the other way, too, from our standpoint. But it will be a great deal for China, because we’re going to continue to deal. We’re going to continue to have a relationship in terms of trade. Otherwise, it would be very tough to do that, in a large way, as we have in the past. Because it was a very one-sided, one-sided thing. From our standpoint, we love dealing with them. They have certain products that are tremendous. They have certain pricing advantages that we take advantage of. A lot of advantages. And I think just the relationships between the two countries are very, you know, it’s very strong. And that’s an important element of what we’re doing, having that, maintaining the great relationship. Which perhaps we would maintain anyway, but certainly, we maintain that with a deal like this. This will be a really terrific, very unique deal. This is an epic deal, historic, if it happens. We’ll see what happens."
