CHINA: U.S. President Donald Trump said during a press conference with Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo on Monday that he would be looking for
"reciprocal" trade concessions from China during his visit to Beijing starting
on Wednesday. Trump, who was in Tokyo for the first leg of his five-country
Asia-Pacific tour, said in reply to a question on China's trade surplus that the
United States would take "very strong action" that would "happen very soon"
against countries that didn't agree on trade deals with the United States,
without specifying what those actions would be or when they would take place. He
also implied that negotiations with China could be contentious, despite his
friendship with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "I like him a lot. He likes me a
lot. I consider him a friend," Trump said of Xi. "But I represent the U.S. and
he represents China," he said, adding that China's trade surplus with the United
States "has to come down."
