00:00Hello, everybody.

00:06Any plans to speak to President Xi this week?

00:10No.

00:11No plans to speak to him, but China and our people are talking about different things.

00:16Every country, almost without fail, friend and foe has been ripping us off for years.

00:22So we're meeting with almost all of them, including China.

00:26And at the end, I'm setting the deal.

00:29They keep saying, this is not like a big deal that's going to be signed.

00:36I'm going to be setting the deal.

00:37I'll be setting a tariff.

00:39Now we're not dealing with China at all, because the tariff's so high that they basically can't deal.

00:49Well, you know, what a fair deal with China, but China's been ripping us off for many years,

00:53so maybe something should be thought about, you know, a little bit of retribution.

01:08He's the one that got it started.

01:10Thank you very much, everybody.
