Trump says he wants a fair trade deal with China  US President Donald Trump on Sunday said the US was meeting with many countries, including China, on trade deals, and his main priority with China was to secure a fair trade deal.  Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had no plans to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, but US officials were speaking with Chinese officials "about different things."  Trump repeated his claim that China had been "ripping us off for many years" on global trade, adding that former President Richard Nixon's move to reach out and establish relations with China was "the worst thing" he ever did.

00:03No. No plans to speak to him, but China and our people are talking about different things.

00:09Sir, every country, almost without fail, friend and foe, has been ripping us off for years.

00:15So we're meeting with almost all of them, including China.

00:19And at the end, I'm setting the deal.

00:22I keep saying, when are you going to...

00:24This is not like a big deal that's going to be signed.

00:26In some cases, we'll sign.

00:27We don't have to have said that.

00:29I'm going to be setting the deal. I'll be setting a tariff.

00:32Now we're not dealing with China at all, because the tariff's so high that they basically can't deal.

00:38And because of that, we're saving millions of dollars.

00:52China's been ripping us off for many years, ever since they started.

00:55To me, I think it was the worst thing that Richard Nixon ever did.

01:21It was a extreme famine.

01:21I think it was this.

01:22It's been...

01:22Yeah.
