Fox News
President Trump said during a gaggle on Air Force One that he is willing to make a deal with China only if the trade deficit is solved.
"We have a $1 trillion trade deficit with China. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose to China, and unless we solve that problem, I’m not going to make a deal," he said. "I’m willing to make a deal with China, but they have to solve this surplus. We have a tremendous deficit problem with China… I want that solved."
