Trump on China Trade Deal: ‘Our Negotiations Were Tough, Honest and Respectful’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I want to thank President XI, who is watching as we speak and I’ll be going over to China in the not too distant future to reciprocate. But I want to thank President XI, very good friend of mine. We’re representing different countries. He’s representing China, I’m representing the U.S but we’ve developed and incredible relationship. And I want to thank him for his cooperation and partnership throughout this complex process. Our negotiations were tough, honest and respectful, leading us to this unbelievable breakthrough. Most people thought this could never happen. It should have happened 25 years ago, by the way, but that’s OK.”
