general kelly will set up a meeting between congress and the various representatives and they will be able to open up documents, take a look and find out what happened. if they had spies in my campaign, during my campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. yes? can you give us an update on trade talks with china? is there a deal about zte and what specifically have you agreed with? president trump: no. president xi and i have a great relationship as president moon can attest. there is no deal. we will see what happens. we are discussing deals. we are discussing various deals. we can do a 301. we can do where we don t need china and say this is what we want and this is what we think is fair. that is always a possibility if a negotiated deal doesn t work out. as i said, we lost $500 billion a year for many years. and then it varied from $100
there s always a possibility if a negotiated deal doesn t work out. as i said, we lost $500 billion a year for many years. and then it varied from $100 billion to $500 billion. when you re losing $500 billion a year, you can t lose in terms of a negotiation. it s really easy to win. but i want this to be a great deal for the united states. i want it to be a great deal for china too, if that s possible. it may not be possible. as far as zte is concerned, the president asked me to look into it and i m doing that. for the ones who say oh, gee, maybe trump is getting a little too easy. zte, we closed it, it wasn t another administration, it was this administration who closed it. it s a phone company, for those who don t know, a very large phone company. it s also a phone company that buys a large portion of its parts that make up these phones,
more. well, i d rather not say, but we re working on something. there s a chance it will work out. there s a substantial chance it won t work out. i don t want to waste a lot of time. there s a very substantial chance it won t work out. that s okay. that doesn t mean it won t work out over a period of time. but it may not work out for june 12th. but there s a good chance we ll have the meeting. in terms of denuclearization, should it be an all in one or could it be incremental with incentives along the way for kim jong-un to denuclearize? it would certainly be better if it were all in one. does it have to be? i don t think i m going to totally commit myself. all in one would be a lot better.

that is short lived now and has no impact. joe. right by the way, again the united nations is transactional in the sense that we work with other countries, other countries work with us. and it s just like any relationship. sometimes you agree with the other person or the other company. sometimes you don t. this would be like ibp and bank of america negotiating a deal this week. and the deal doesn t work out. right. so the head of bank of perk, brian goes out and he condemns ibm and tells everybody else, we will remember this. we will never have another deal with ibm. no, that itself not how business works. that s not how diplomacy works. that s not how the united nations works. as bill clinton says, there s always tomorrow. there s always a vote you will need tomorrow f. they voted
