United States President Donald Trump said that China "broke the deal," which is why it will start to "pay" in export tariffs, despite an impending visit by Chinese Vice President Liu He scheduled for Thursday. During his re-election campaign rally in Florida, Trump said that the US economy is continuing its strong growth and that his administration is working on new trade deals, stating that the country should always have alternative trade partners.
Trump said that the White House won't lift tariffs imposed China until that country stops "robbing" the US economy of employment. "We can make the products right here, like we used to," Trump stated. He also reiterated that his administration successfully renegotiated the "disastrous" South Korea trade deal, as well as the North American Free Trade Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The president once more said that America will curb its spending on other countries' defense, saying that numerous affluent countries do not respect these expenses. "Europe should pay its bill," Trump concluded.
