Trump revealed that he has been pushing for an unfair trade deal with China, before the negotiations collapsed. In an interview with Fox News Channel aired on Sunday, Trump said he told Xi the agreement “can’t be like a 50/50 deal”. And, ” you are so far ahead from presidents that allowed you to get away. This can’t be a 50/50 deal.”
He further claimed: “We had a very strong deal. We had a good deal, and at the end, they changed it. And I said, that’s OK, we’re going to tariff their products”. And, “it hurts China so badly.”
Trump also talked about his subsidy plan to farmers. He noted conversations with farmers as they said “Sir, we don’t want a subsidy. We just want a level playing field. And we also know that we’re being killed by these countries — by many of the countries, not just China.”
