Karoline Leavitt: The Ball Is in China’s Court, They Need to Do Business with America

‘They need the best thing on the face of the planet and that is the American consumer’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “However, I did run into the secretary of Treasury and he told me the meetings were productive and they were moving along and they were here for quite some time. And the president met directly with one of the trade representatives from Japan because the president wants to be involved in these negotiations and these talks. I think it speaks volumes about the number of countries we have seen come to the table, reaching out to this administration to cut deals. It’s because the entire world knows they need to do business with the United States of America. And China knows that, too, Sean. As President Trump directed me to say yesterday, it remains true tonight, the ball is in China’s court. They need to do business with United States. They need the best thing on the face of the planet, and that is the American consumer. We are the best place in the world to do business. The rest of the world knows that, and that’s why Japan was here today to negotiate a trade deal."
