united states in hopes of striking a comprehensive deal. we are working with ambassador lighthizer and mnuchin over the past couple days. our negotiations are going well. we have achieved a lot of important agreements towards a deal which will be reached between you and president xi. thank you very much. if you would, tell where we are, how we re doing, what we re discussing and maybe i m ask the vice premier to say a few words and get on with our negotiations. thank you, mr. president. the vice premier. [speaking chinese]. based on months of negotiations, we have two intense and long days of
table and literally go into the oval office with a resolute desk to hammer out something. yeah, listen, there s something what is fascinating about china, you have to get trump and peter navarro, who a lot of he s a lot of the anti-china stuff, credit for at least enlighting how big china is, how they steal our stuff. they re on the war path against us. they basically created a hot war in terms of trade and stealing and theft of intellectual property. where you have to criticize the trump administration is how they deal with it. yes, this is a good deal. the fact is, when you go narrowly when you go at china, go at our trading partners, go at the world instead of isolating china, makes the business of doing a trade deal like this more difficult. neil: i m wondering, democratic and republican presidents in the past have been hoodwinked and fooled by the chinese that make a commitment
great american people. if they did what they re going to do, it would very much halt or at least i think it would stop fentanyl from coming into this country, would be a tremendous thing. so that s a separate trade deal but very important thing. mr. lighthizer on enforcement. how do you view i think we re going to have strong enforcement language both ways. they want enforcement, too. i think we ll have it both ways. we ll have strong enforcement language. this is a serious deal. it could be done quickly, easily but it wouldn t be comprehensive. it would be small. and i just want to end by saying really as a sign of good faith for china to buy that much of our soy beans and other product that they just committed to us prior to the signing of the deal is something that makes us very proud to be dealing with them. i think that the farmers who have already been notified of
things. sometimes you hear good, sometimes you don t hear good. i will say that i think the relationship that we have right now with china has never been so advanced. i don t think it s ever been better. but i can tell you for a fact it s never been so advanced. certainly a deal has never been so advanced. essentially we don t have a deal. we never had a trade deal. we ll have a great trade deal. why never really had a trade deal with china. now we re going to have a great trade deal with china if it works out. we look for toward to it. it s going to be great for both countries. not just us, not just this is going to be great for both countries. and i know you have already done a lot of opening up china to the financial services, industry that s been happening very much. hopefully we can get that done for our farmers and manufacturers. likewise the united states. so it s just an honor to be with you. i will see you today and see you a lot over the next month. that i can tell you.
more about patent infringement, why american companies have to give away their heart and soul and spreadsheets to do so. that is significant. i can not stress enough to you, though it might be boring economics to a lot of people, might have the appeal of scandals and rumored scandals and collusion and all of that. this is huge. the potential for a trade deal that could change the lives of not only a couple of billion people in china, but millions in the united states of america. as i stress, we are nowhere near a finished deal. but we re getting the first signs that the chinese want one and the sooner the better. that is why we were wall-to-wall with it. because it affects you. more after this. did you ever notice that the very first bite of every great meal is always the potato? that s why it should always be an idaho potato. only genuine idaho potatoes have the perfect taste and texture to get your meal started right.
