US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in the possibility of concluding a new trade deal with China and said that Chinese President Xi Jinping could visit the United States.
“I have a very good relationship with President Xi. But remember, he loves China and I love the United States. So, you know, there is a little bit of competition there, but my relationship with President Xi, I would say, is excellent. Obviously, they have suffered because of the arrival of Covid. It has hurt them, it has hurt us, it has hurt everybody, it has hurt the world,” Trump said while talking to reporters on board his plane.
When asked about his readiness to conclude a new trade deal with China, Trump replied: “It is possible.” He also said that French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon come to Washington for talks, and “eventually” President Xi will come to the United States.
