And I’d to get to get the other. As soon as we see that, we’ll get rid the other 10 percent Other than that, we haven’t cut the tariffs at all with China.
But we’re going to have a great relationship with them, I think, for a long period of time.

The meeting with China was incredible. The meeting with Japan, incredible. And the meeting with South Korea, likewise. Incredible all of them and trillions of dollars are coming back to our country because of those meetings.
And we have others planned with other countries, but those are big ones so the meeting with china was one that everybody wanted The meeting with the new prime minister who’s fantastic of Japan.
Could not have gone better. We’ve worked out our deal and South Korea.
You saw the way we were treated. Our country’s respected again!
When they treat me with that kind of respect, they’re treating our country with that kind of respect, which is much more important.
