00:00So on those China talks, what does President Trump expect to come out of those talks?
00:06And is he going to be disappointed if his team can't secure a deal?
00:10Well, look, the President is very confident in his Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besant,
00:14and, of course, Ambassador Jameson Greer, who has played an instrumental role in all of these trade negotiations as well.
00:19I think yesterday's success, the announcement of a trade deal with the United Kingdom, is a great first step.
00:24Again, many said in this room it couldn't be done.
00:26Now we are moving forward with many other countries.
00:29We're talking to dozens of our trading partners around the world.
00:32But, of course, China is a major country, a major player in this space.
00:37And the President has said, and he's right, that China needs the United States of America.
00:41They need our markets.
00:43They need our consumer base.
00:44And Secretary Besant knows that he's going to Switzerland this weekend with the full support and confidence and trust of the President here at home.
