The white house. Whats happened to the world and to our country with all of the death. We are going to build our economy back bigger than ever, but with all of that death you could never replace whats taken. Its very sad for a lot of families, you know, so horribly hit and so unnecessary. They could have stopped it. They could have stopped anytime china where it came from. But didnt happen that way. Maria i want to ask you about china, ill get to that. But lets talk about the reopening of america right now. About half of the states have begun this process. Right. Maria is it too soon . There are some calls out there that theyre talking about a relapse in the fall. Is it too soon . So i want them to open when they can, when they want. The governors are opening them. Most of them are either opened or opening or considering it. I think that we have to get back to work. We have to get our country back. We have to take it back. It was artificially closed. I think were doing incredibly well considering the fact that we had the greatest economy, maria, in history. You report it every morning. The greatest that anyones ever seen. Best job numbers, best stock market numbers, best everything. We had the best everything. And in addition, to the military being strong, all of the things and just one day, boom, we had to close it. We did the right thing and now weve got to get back. Weve got to bring our country back, and its going to happen, and its going to happen fast. I call it a transition to greatness. Youre going to have to third quarter. People are starting to get into that right now, but its going to be a transition. Thats a transition quarter. Were going to do well in the fourth quarter. I think next year with all of the still stimulus, were going to have one of the best economic years weve ever had. Maria dr. A few is saying a different thing, hes worried about dr. Fauci. Hes worried about spikes turning into outbreaks. He says it seems like it could be too soon, and the danger is if we skip over the checkpoints and the guidelines to open america again, then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks. So anthony is a good person, very good person. I have disagreed with him when i closed the border to china, he disagreed, and ultimately he agreed and said i saved hundreds of thousands of lives, which is what happened. Everybody disagreed when i did that. I think that we have to open our schools. Young people are very affected by this. We have to get the schools open, we have to get our country open, we have to open our country. Now, if we want to do it safely are, we also want to do it as quickly as possible. We cant keep going on like this. Youre going to have youre having bedlam are already in the streets. You cant do this. You have to get it open. I totally disagree with him on schools, and we will have i call em embers, i call them spikes, and i notice he used the word spike. Well, you might have that, and well put it out. Weve learned we didnt know anything about this. This is a horrible disease. This is a horrible plague. I call it a plague. Its a terrible thing. Weve learned a lot, and we also know how to put it out. We have to open our country, we have no choice. People are dying this way too. When you report this better than i could ever report it, but people are dying with this closure, with this shutdown of a country where theyre in their house, their apartment, theyre not allowed some people are too tough on it. Theyre not allowed to go out. Theyre losing their jobs. Were not going to let it happen. Maria do you think your critics want you to keep it closed going into the election . Yeah, i do, i do. Its a political thing, in addition. Maria theyre saying youre putting money, business ahead of lives. No, no. I think [laughter] the people that wallet to see the right that want to see the right thing happen, they agree with me. We have to get our country open. You know, if it was up to some people, lets keep it closed for a long time, okay . A long time. And watch the United States go down the tubes. Not going to happen. Never going to happen on my watch. Maria do you see longterm damage done the longer that you stay closed . Jay powell said that as well, that there is a longterm impact the longer it stays closed. Yeah. So what i do see is this, i see were losing tremendous number of lives. So is the world. You know, the world, 184 countries, its now more than that. Think of it. The tremendous lives lost. So that can never you talk about damage, that can never be replaced. Were going to lose over 100,000 perhaps in this country. Now, in all fairness, thats at the bottom level of the scale. We would have lost two million, we would have lost more if we did it a different way. But youre talking about 100,000, a little bit more, less, who knows . Its a terrible thing. No, so that cant be replaced. Were spending trillions of dollars on all of the damage economically, financially that its caused. So it is a terrible thing. Its just an incredible thing. We were sailing. Two months ago we were sailing. We were we had the best more the best unemployment situation in my lifetime at least. And now were talking about 33 Million People filing for unemployment. Even after 10 trillion in stimulus thats all going to come back. The lives wont come back. Thats all going to come back. Its going to come back fast. Now, with that were spending money, were borrowing money, all of that stuff is bad, but all of thats going to work with out. Thats going to all come back. We have a strong dollar. We have a great country. The people want to go back to work, and they dont want to lose their jobs, by the way. Maria so you want a strong dollar, because in the past i tell you what, its a great time to have a strong dollar. Because the whole world you know, were paying zero interest rate. Thats never happened either. Everybody wants to be in the dollar because we kept it strong, i kept it strong. Now, from a trade standpoint its tougher, but from a country standpoint and an inflation standpoint, you dont have inflation, you dont have problems. No, we have a strong dollar, and right now its good to have a strong dollar. And i can live both ways, you understand that. But right now having a strong dollars a great thing. Maria whats the right mix of policies to get us back . You had a policy program in 2017, and you moved the needle on economic growth. That was tax cuts, that was deregulation, that was turn turning on the energy spigot and the new trade situation. Is it the same playbook to get us back . So were going to have maybe a different playbook. Stronger than i would have ever said. I was very much a prousa person. I was america first, right . Always. Youve known me ever since youve known me, and i was right about that. Strong borders. Our borders very strong. We have some of the best numbers weve ever had. Southern border, the best numbers weve ever had maria you campaigned on. I did. And weve built 182 miles of you know what that is . Well be close to 500 miles by early next year. Maria of new wall. Brand new. All brand new. And renovate too, but im not even talking about that. Were talking about over 500 miles of wall. Maria more of my exclusive interview with President Trump coming up. He will tell me, when we come back, when he thinks the covid19 vaccine will be available. Its all coming up. announcer in this world where people are staying at home, many of lifes moments are being put on hold. At carvana, we understand that, for some, getting a car just cant wait. To help, were giving our customers up to 90 days to make their first payment. Shop online from the comfort of your couch, and get your car with touchless delivery to keep you safe. And for even Greater Peace of mind, all carvana cars come with a sevenday return policy. So, if you need to keep moving, were here for you. At carvana the safer way to buy a car. Maria welcome back. President trump standing resolute in his desire to get americans back to work and get the economy churning once again. The president also confident that a Coronavirus Vaccine is on the way. When you think of what weve done, i was always america first, make America Great again, right . And, basically, its that, but its that plus because a lot of people fought me on china. You hear all that honking, do you know what that is . Thats trucks. Maria trucking protesters. Well, theyre not protesters, theyre supporters of me because were getting things for the truckers, all those great truckers all over the country. Can and theyre really very thankful that im president , frankly [laughter] when i hear the horns of a thousand trucks outside, its great. What were doing is what i was doing before but even more so. And im Even Stronger about it, america first. China, i made a great trade deal. The ink wasnt dry when the plague came over from china. But the ink wasnt even dry. Maria they didnt tell you about it when they came here on the 15th of january and shook everybodys hands that was never even a subject. That was not anything that anybody really understood or knew about at the time. But china, im very disappointed in china, i will tell you that right now. We can do things in our country. You know, we used to make our own product. You believe it, right . We used to make our own product. We dont need 37 pencils. We can buy 2 pencils, and they can be better. But, you know, we went astray. The whole thing, we went astray. Ive been talking about this for 20 years. Probably its the number one reason i ran for president , because i saw that our car industry was leaving, going to mexico. You know, mexico makes 30 of our cars. Its not even believable maria well, this, businesses wanted cheap labor but also lax environmental rules. The cheap labor turned out to be ebbs tensive. When you expensive. When you add whats costing by us with our drugs, our pharmaceutical products, so many Different Things maria minerals. So i put tariffs on china, and weve taken in tens of billions of dollars. I gave a lot of those that money to the farmers because they were targeted by china. And every other president let china do whatever they wanted. You know, we were losing anywhere from 200 billion to 500 billion to china a year. Think of it. We rebuilt china. And i give them a lot of credit, but i dont give our past president s and leaders a lot of credit because they got taken to the cleaner. Maria so how do you get us back . When you look at these numbers, were going to be going into the election with a doubledigit unemployment rate. Could we get below 10 by december . No, next year i think were going to be very, very strong again. We have tremendous powers that other people dont have. We have tremendous job capacity, and i think whats going to happen is next years going to be one of our best years. I feel that we will transition in this third quarter. Fourth quarters going to be good. Next years going to be incredible. Maria are there industries that youre thinking will lead us out of this, that are more poised to open and have Economic Activity than others, and what about states . Are there states out there that have become a model for you . I know georgia did well, florida as well in terms of their openings but dont forget, those states, none of them would have done well without what we did in the federal government because we became the ventilator maker of the world. We are now doing things with ventilators that nobody thought possible. When we took over, we didnt have nobody knew what a ventilator was. Were making thousands of ventilators now a week. And also, by the way, everybodys got ventilators. Were giving them now and selling them to other countries who desperately need them. Other countries are calling up, they desperately need them. We have testing capital. You see the numbers. Youve seen this before. This is the us in the blue maria youre up ten million. Look at this, over ten million tests. Maria we get to the place where the white house is, in corporate america, every time you go to work, you get your temperature taken, you get a test. You dont want to be doing that. Look, we want to go back to, look, you want to see a baseball game, a football game, i went to the alabama lsu game last year. They had 110,000 people in the stadium. I dont want to see 25,000 people where you have empty seats all over the place. Maria when do you think we can get back to that, mr. President . I think were going to have a vaccine, yeah, i think were going to have a vaccine by tend of the year. Were doing very well, and i will tell you something i just literally left a meeting, were mobilizing our military and other forces, but were mobilizing our military on the bases that we do have a vaccine. You know, its a massive job to get this vaccine. Our military is now being mobilized. So at the end of the year, were going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly. Maria and youre doing something with syringes as well to that you can have plentiful, you have enough vaccines. Thats right. We will have tremendous force. Assuming we get it, then you have to distribute it. Maria right. And unless youre mobilized and ready, youre not going to be able to do it for a long time. So were starting now. Were of the assumption that by the end of the year were going to have a vaccine, and then we have to be able to give it, to use it on most of our population. Now, well focus on elderly. Were going to focus on nursing home and, you know, Senior Citizen centers because thats really, if you look at it, that is so that is a very vulnerable group. Its a terrible thing. But, so were going to be focused on that. Maria okay, if youre below 50, youre healthy and strong, youre okay, go back to work. Elderly, divide them well, were doing that. Im actually saying with the schools, open the schools. But if a teacher is 65 or older, especially if they have diabetes, if they have a bad heart, if they have a problem, we saw say relax for a longer period of time. But if you look, theres been very little damage done to people that are healthy and young and, frankly, mediumaged people. But the elderly have been hes mated. Maria dont go anywhere, the president pulls no punches when i ask hum about nancycycycycy maria welcome back. Many are calling for structural changes to how we vote come election day, but President Trump is weary that some of those ideas could open the door to voter fraud. The president gave me his thoughts on that as well as the 3 trillion house stimulus plan which includes a new way to vote. So its dead on arrival. We had a very interesting evening last night, as you know. In wisconsin we won very, very by a lot. And this is not, theres no election. It was a special election. We won a house seat. Supposed to be close. We won by a lot. We had a great person, nowcongressman tom tiffany maria just won in california, a special election. And in california. Were just getting the numbers. It looks like we won that big. Hes been a tremendous candidate, mike garcia. He went out, he worked and he won, and he took back a seat from the democrats in california. Think of that. In an area that nobody thought possible and was held by a democrats, as you know, the democrat who had a lot of problems. And mike went out and he won, he won that seat. These are two now, the press doesnt even write. But if we lost those seats, it would be headline news, rough time for trump. Because im running against sleepy joe biden, but im also running against the democrat machine, and im running and you see how allowed bad they are with all of the things that are coming out. When you look at these releases maria were going to talk about that. Im running against the democrats and im running against the media. Im running against the radical left. Im running against some really stupid republicans that dont understand how good they had it, because we have some im at 95 or 96 with the republican party. But we have some people that claim to be republicans, and theyve gone crazy. And the reason is ive defeated them all. You know, they were my opponents, and theyve never gotten over it. Weaver and schmidt, all losers. And they go out and they try buying commercials. And you say, gee, we rebuilt our military, weve taken care of our vets. Our vets are in the best shape youve never seen anything with the vets, with choice and everything else. Weve done such a good job. And then you add the judges and protecting our second amendment. What are these guys going to do, support joe biden . You know, because joe has been brought way left, way, way left. Theyve never gotten over losing to me. It wasnt supposed to happen, and then i had another race that was against crooked hillary clinton. And shes never gotten over it either. Maria well, shes been tweeting already saying that we have to vote by mail. Now, i know that there is interference in the 2016 election, they were out to get you and they wanted to take you down. Theres another kind of interference, and that could be fooling around with voting machines. I mean, in terms of voting by mail, vote proxies, whats your take . Do you want that . No, but maria shes been tweeting about that. Voting by mail is very dangerous. People can grab them, they can take that proxy, sign a name, they can do all sorts of things, especially harvesting. They go out and say, you know, lets put them all together. And thats happened. By the way, we were thinking that might happen in california. We were worried about the race. But, look, in california they actually won. They voted by mail. The one we just won today. We just won it. Vote by mail. And they were losing because when you vote by mail, you see the tally how its going, right . And we were losing. We were losing that issue. So we lost that issue. Were voting by mail, were winning. Whatwhat happens . They immediately set a voting booth up, wasnt supposed to, in the middle of a democrat area so they could get votes. But they still didnt do it. We won the race. Maria why would nancy pelosi come up with this 3 trillion plan . She knows its dead on arrival, marijuana business in the med ifing of a pandemic middle of a pandemic. More than anything else she wants the voting change. If you did that look, they have had some very dishonest things. California, look at los angeles where Judicial Watch settled a case where with they agreed a million votes were fraudulent. A million votes in one area for fraudulent. And they could have done a lot more, but it was so ridiculous, there was no reason to go any further. They came to a settlement. They agreed on a million votes. The level of dishonesty with democrat voting is unbelievable. If you told a republican to vote twice, theyd get sick at even the thought of it. And you have people that vote numerous time. Whats happening is crazy. So now they want to send out votebymail. Whos going to who knows whos signing this stuff . Not only should they come and vote, now, if youre a Senior Citizen and if youre this or that like in florida, theres a great system of voting, but its a fair system, and its a very closelywatched system. Is so in some cases, age, youre not feeling well, you should be able to do it. But you have to go out and vote. And if you dont do that, it can be well have the worst rigged election since Bernie Sanders. Because Bernie Sanders has had a lot of bad things happen to hum. You know, its interesting maria thats a good point. Im glad you make that. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren drops and nobody talks about this. I say it all the time because its so basic. Elizabeth warren was a failed candidate, but she got a lot of the superliberal votes, you know, the radical left, i call it. And she didnt drop out of the race. Super tuesday. If she drops out of the race, she doesnt even have to endorse Bernie Sanders. He wins every state, almost every state against biden. But she didnt, and then two other people did drop out, they gave support to biden. And despite that, if she because she got, you know, thousands of votes. Every one of those races were very close. He would win almost every state, Bernie Sanders. Maria President Trumpmpmpmpmp what happened daddy . Well, see this handsome man, his name was william. And william fell in love with rose and they had a kid. His name was charles and charles met martha. Isnt she pretty . Yeah. Maria welcome back. Now in this part of my exclusive sitdown with President Trump, the president talks about moving aggressively in getting companies to switch their supply chains to the United States. Never going to happen. Well keep our Vice President very healthy, and ill stay healthy. Never gonna happen. She would be a disaster. Look, Nancy Pelosis a disaster, okay . Even doing a thing like that, what she wants to do is get involved with the voting. She just got back to washington. What was so long . She just got back here. So lets just see how it all works out. I think were going to have a great election. Im getting really goodell poll numbers. Good poll numbers. For the most part, theyre not being shown. And i saw joe biden on television yesterday, and if you watch him, he knows nothing. He knows absolutely nothing. Maria do you think he will be the candidate . I dont know. I just dont know. I mean, im looking normally, of course, yeah, hes going to be the candidate. Again, if Elizabeth Warren, pocahontas as i affectionately call her because her whole life was a fraud, if Elizabeth Warren just got out before super tuesday, it would be bernie. I dont care who it is. I actually would prefer joe, i think, who knows about those things . But a lot of people wonder is he going to be the candidate. Maria you know, how will you be positioning yourself for the election . Because people voted for you because they trusted your economic smarts. They knew you could turn things around for the economy and business. Youre a business and i did. Maria exactly. But now weve got 33 Million People filing for unemployment, weve got 20 nobody blames me for that. Maria unemployment look, we had the greatest maria so will you position yourself differently going into no, i dont think so. Im going to do it again. I gotta do it again. I did it once. I showed it could be done. And you know, ive been on your show plenty. I did it once and ill do it again. He cant do it. Maria are you thinking about a payroll holiday . I like the idea of a payroll tax, and id like it both for the small companies, you know, etc. , etc. And the people. Because its a double. Its also for people. The worker. Id like a payroll tax maria a cut or cut. Yeah, cut. Meaning cut. Thats one of the taxes that i want to see cut. And, by the way, weve given the largest tax cut in history. If we werent so strong as a country, we wouldnt even exist right now. We built an incredible machine. It was a beautiful thing to watch. It was i even said three months ago i was with a group of people, i say, can you believe this . Every single day better employment numbers, better stock market numbers, more jobs, the militarys almost complete now, weve totally rebuilt everything, and then one day i have to tinter9 off. Now, whats going to happen, maria, were going to rebuild it again. And its going to go fast. Maria do you have to give aid to the stateses . Mayor de blasio say he needs to be made whole. What are you thinking in terms of aid to the states, the cities . How are you going to decide who gets what . Youve had a lot of states and cities that have been badly run for a long time. A lot of them are trying to use the covid problem, you know that, for making up for whats happened over 25 years of bad management. Like your governor of illinois. He wants money. He wants money. I know the family. He wants money. You know, lets make up for 25 years and some very bad current years. Now, theres one thing. If they spend the money, thats one thing, for covid. But they want money for 25 years of bad management. It happens to be that virtually without exception their all in democrat states. Its very interesting. Los angeles wants money, new york wants money, illinois is really having a hard time. They all want money. We have republicanmanaged states that are doing very well. You know, its a big difference. Maria i want to get to china, mr. President , but let me ask you this. Youve talked a lot about supply chains. You changed the conversation on china, obviously, and now were seeing the average american understand we cannot have 70 of our active ingredients in our prescription drugs made in china. How are you going to get these companies to bring the supply chain back to america . Are you going to do tax breaks . How do you incentivize them to do it . You could tell you hundreds of stories of the stupid by ive seen. As an example, we make a fighter jet. I wont tell you which, but it happens to be the f35, okay . Its a great jet. And we make parts for this jet all over the world. We make em in turkey, we make em here, we make em there. Because president obama and others im not just blaming him wanted, thought it was a wonderful thing. The problem is if we have a problem with a country, you cant make the jet. We get parts from all over the place, its so crazy. We should make everything in the United States maria will we do it . Yeah, theyre doing it because im changing all those policies. Look, we make f35s, very important, the greatest jet in the world. Where the main body of the jet is made in turkey and then its sent here. So what happens . We have a Good Relationship with president erdogan. What happens with me. What happens if we dont have . Are they going to say, well, were not going to give you this maria china said that. They threatened that they werent going to we havent done anything. Well, ive taken in billions of dollars in tariffs, and these Drug Companies have to get on the ball because theyre not going not only to china, theyre going to india, and theyre going to ireland, and theyre going all over the place. Maria apple said now theyre going to go to india. And do some production in if they do, you know, we gave apple a little bit of a break because theyre competing with a company that was a part of a trade deal that we made. So it was a little bit unfair to apple. But were not allowing this anymore. Maria when we come back, President Trump talks trade in President Trump talks trade in our motor . Nope. Not motor . Its pronounced motaur. For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Maria welcome back. Trade was one of the main staples of President Trumps campaign in 2016 along with deregulation and tax cuts. In my exclusive oneonone with the president , we spoke about what has been done to level the Playing Field with u. S. Trading partners. If we wanted to put up our own border like other countries do to us, apple would build 100 of their product in the United States. Thats the way it would work maria so you dont think you need to incentivize . No, i i i have to do one incentive is to charge tax when they make product outside. We dont have to do much for them, they have to do for us. Look, you have these companies, and they build as an example, mexico. Great relationship with mexico. Theyve been very nice to us. They have 27,000 of their soldiers on our border because i insist id on it. Maria yeah, i remember. But you have mexico. They build a car and they send it over the border no tax, no nothing. When we build cars, we send them to other countries, if you take europe, european union, it was formed for the benefit of themselves against us, okay . It was formed to hurt us. Its about manufacturing. I want to bring it all back. Ive been look, theres nothing good about what happened with the plague, okay . Especially the death. But the one thing is it said trump was right, because i was getting a lot of fightback even from people that i like a lot in congress, etc. And now theyre not fighting. These stupid supply chains that are all over the world, we have a supply chain where theyre made in all different parts of the world, and one little piece of the world goes bad, and the whole thing is messed up. I said we shouldnt have supply chains, we should have them all in the United States. We have the companies to do it. And if we dont, we can do that. Maria and now this part of our economy is getting crushed, hotels, restaurants, we need the manufacturing to be picking up. Its all happening. Maria let me talk about china. You called it an attack the other day. Was it deliberate . So a terrible thing happened, and you can look at it as a source. It took place in a certain, at a certain point. And it could have been put out, and it should have been put out. And we asked to go over, and they said no. They didnt want our help. And i figured that was okay because they midwest know what theyre doing. Must know what theyre doing. So it was either stupidity, incompetence or deliberate, one or the other. But one of the things that is bad is they stopped people leaving. Nobody could go to china. You couldnt go to beijing or anywhere in china, but you could go to the rest of the world. What was that all about . Why is it maria 430,000 people traveled from china to the United States after coronavirus was known. Right. Okay, so we took in, as you know, a very small because in january, i put and i was criticized by everybody, including dr. Fauci. I put in a wall, a very strong wall. Only a small number of people were allowed in, and they were all u. S. Citizens. I cant tell a u. S. Citizen you cant come back into your country. And then i put up a barrier to europe too because what happened these same people and others went to europe. Europe became heavily infected. Italy, a very favorite place of yours maria yes. Italy, spain, france became very, very badly infected. Infected. Its a terrible word, isnt it . It all became a horror show. And then i closed it because i didnt want people coming in from europe, if you can believe it. This is what happened. But by doing this, we actually acted very early. We did a thing, we did a great thing, but its a disastrous subject no matter maria knowing what you know now and as you start reopening things and youre getting info from all of the governors and youre tracking this, when would you expect International Travel to come back . Is that a 2021 affair . All i can say is this, as soon as possible. We cant send planes over to a country that right now i mean, im not going to mention cups, but there are some that are right now, we talked about one just a little while ago really badly infected. So we cant bring people in that maria its going to take a while. Itll take a little while. But a lot of people are going to start traveling more so in the United States. And theyll be back. Its all going to be back together. And in many ways, weve learned a lot. And were going to bring back manufacturing that we could never have done without this. As bad as this has been, because now people agree with me. A lot of people are saying trump was right. Ive been talking about this for a long time. Ive been doing a lot about it. But, you know, theyve become embedded. Its almost like it becomes a way of life. We have to do business. Maria so much stimulus its not about the world. We have to fix our country. The world we want to be a leader, the leader, but im right now im president of the United States. Im not president of the world. I say it all the time. I want to make America Great again, i want to do what we had you know, years ago we made our own product. We didnt rely on everybody in the world. They have their own problems. Maria so what happened . They just wanted to do it cheaper . They wanted theyre globalists. Theyre globalists. Theyre people who think we have to make the world wealthy at our expense. I dont even know where these people come from. But those days are over. And if nothing else over the last two months, its been proven to be right. Maria stay right here, more of my oneonone with the president and breaking news late in the week when we come right back. Hear what the president has to say about chinas we love the new apartment.

On friday the administration moved to block shipments of Huawei Technologies from global chipmakers. Also at the end of the week, a veiled threat from the communist party via the chinese newspaper the global times which reported that go to p lawmakers gop lawmakers who oppose china will face retribution, josh hawley and tom cotton will be added to chinas sanctions list. The editor also threatening qualcomm, cisco, apple and boeing. I asked President Trump about china and specifically where the coronavirus originated. When it came from the lab or came from the bats or came it all came from china, and they should have stopped it. They could have stopped it at that source. I call it the source. Right there maria they made the decision to allow it to escape its borders. I dont know if they made the decision, but it got out of control. I think more likely it got out of control maria senator cotton says that they didnt want the chinese economy to contract 20 and the rest of the world to contract 2 . So we were beating them very badly before this. We were beating them between the tariffs and other things we were doing, and we were going up, and they were having a very bad year, the worst year theyve had in 56 years maria had hong kong protesters on the street. And even beyond that. And we were really doing well. And that is a theory. But heres what i know for sure, they didnt allow this whole thing, or they didnt allow people to go into china, but they did how them to go out to the world including the United States. Thats why europe is a mess, thats why look at these countries. Russias having a hard time. Everybodys having maria will it get worse for those countries, do you think . For some of them. Some of them have just started the process. Were getting toward the end of the process. Maria they downplayed the disease, the virus, at the same time theyre allowing International Travel. 5 Million People leaving wuhan going to italy, going to the United States. Then they start cornering the market on protective equipment even though china is already the largest yeah. Thats not the big thing. The big thing is, look, they should have never let this happen. So i make a great trade deal, and now i say it just doesnt feel the same to me. The ink was barely dry, and the plague came over and it doesnt feel the same to me. Maria are they going to renege on it . Theyre not going to buy the 250 billion, are they . They will buy 250 billion. They said somewhere i i see theyd like to renegotiate the deal. Were not going to renegotiate. Look, im not happy about anything having to do with that particular subject right now. But everything i said turned out to be right. You go back 10 years, 20 years, every im telling you, its why im sitting here. This is the beautiful oval office, because of trade. Not only with china, with other countries also. You look at other countries. They charge us tariffs to do business, and were not allowed to charge them. Maria right now as we speak theyre continuing to steal intellectual property. The fbi puts the warning out theyre stealing intellectual property on science data, on research. They want to get a covid19 vaccine before us. Are they going to beat they were never called. Now theyre being call out all the time with me. For a long time, long before this maria you can stop them from doing . Well, we can stop them. Theyre going to try you could also stop doing business with them, thats one thing. Look, we have lost a fortune dealing with china. We have rebuilt china. Theyre done a great job. But the people sitting in this seat have allowed them to rip us off like youve never seen before, and that includes president obama and biden. Sleepy joe. He allowed them to rip this country off. We spent hundreds of billions. We gave them hundreds of billions of dollars year in and year out. Maria have you spoken to xi jinping . I have a very Good Relationship but i just right now i dont want to speak to him. I dont want to maria because senator cotton was saying maybe we should be limiting the amount of visas we give to students to study computers and a. I there are many things we could do. We could cut off the whole relationship. If you did, what would happen . Youd save 500 billion if you cut off the whole relationship. Look, at what point does it and i said this for years. I said it with other countries also. You know, chinas not the only cup ripping us off. At nato where we defend europe for nothing, by the way, essentially nothing, i was able to get them to pay hundreds of billions of dollars more. You know my biggest fan in the world . Secretary stoltenberg. Maria he has said that to me, actually. Hes been there a long time. He said nobodys ever gotten you know, we were paying more and more, they were paying less. You have to see the chart of what they pay. So we are defending europe, and then theyre taking advantage of us on trade. Its all one way, and it was all turning, and it is all turning around. Maria and you pull back the money. Been proven to be right. Yeah, i pulled maria you pulled back the money from the thrift fund. They wanted to put 10 of the thrift fund into billions. Maria will you go one step further and force the Chinese Companies have to follow accounting rules if they want to be listed on the nasdaq . Were looking at that strongly, but on the thrift fund, you know its run by the obama appointments, right . And we said youve got to do this. And were going the find out whether or not their going to do it very soon theyre going to do it. And if theyre not, were going to replace them quickly. And we are looking at the second part of the question. Maria theyre listed on the new york stock exchange, they dont have to report their earningsings the way an American Company does . Pretty amazing. Heres the problem, look, i hate to say it. Lets say we do that, so what are they going to do . Theyre going to move their listing to london or somewhere else.
