“My feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one,” Trump said, standing beside Xi.
“As we said, there’s great chemistry, and I think we’re going to do tremendous things, both for China and the United States,” Trump said.
“I don’t blame China,” Trump said of the trade deficit.
“Who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for benefit of their citizens? I give China great credit.”
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
“And, honestly, I think, as tough as this negotiation was, I think our relationship with China now might be the best it's been in a long, long time. And now it's reciprocal. Before, we were being ripped off badly. Now we have a reciprocal relationship, maybe even better than reciprocal for us.”
"I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."
