Trump Claims 'Very Strong' Trade Deal Will Lead to China 'Opening Up'

In an interview aired Tuesday on Fox News, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington had outlined the framework for a "very, very strong" trade agreement with China, which he claimed would lead to greater access for American businesses in the Chinese market. Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to the start of his Gulf tour, Trump highlighted the potential benefits of the deal, emphasizing that "the most exciting part" was China's expected economic opening. He added that both countries stood to gain from efforts to increase market openness, though he did not provide further specifics.
