US-CHINA: Trump: We Want A Level Playing Field With China

US-CHINA

US President Donald Trump, speaking at Davos, describes how he sees the US relationship with China in the next four years. 

  • Trump notes that Chinese President Xi Jinping called him shortly after his inauguration. Trump says "I see [the relationship as] very good. I think we're going to have a very good relationship. All we want is fairness. We just want a level playing field, we don't want to take advantage. We've been having massive deficits with China. Biden allowed it to get out of hand..."
  • Trump: "It's just an unfair relationship. We have to make it fair, it doesn't have to be phenomenal... I like President Xi very much, we've always had a great relationship... and looking forward to doing very well with China."
  • Trump: "Hopefully China can help us stop the war [in Ukraine] they have a great deal of power over that situation and we'll work with them."
  • Trump: "We'd like to see denuclearisation," adding during his first administration he had spoken about the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said "China would have come along."
