Karoline Leavitt shares a statement from President Trump to China about tariff talks.
Transcript
00:00The President previously said he'd consider reducing tariffs on China if, in order to get a TikTok deal done.
00:05Is that option still on the table?
00:08Look, the President has made his position on China quite clear,
00:12although I do have an additional statement that he just shared with me in the Oval Office.
00:16The ball is in China's court.
00:18China needs to make a deal with us.
00:21We don't have to make a deal with them.
00:23There's no difference between China and any other country, except they are much larger.
00:27And China wants what we have, what every country wants, what we have, the American consumer.
00:34Or to put it another way, they need our money.
00:37So the President, again, has made it quite clear that he's open to a deal with China,
00:41but China needs to make a deal with the United States of America.
