He adds that it had a devastating effect on China, as factories were closing and “civil unrest” started occuring.
“I didn’t like it”
Trump goes on to say that when seeing what he saw happening in China and not liking it, he decided to make a fast deal with China.
The purpose of the deal was to “save them (China) from a very bad situation”.
The bad news
According to Trump, this was the good news, but the bad news is, that China has “totally violated the agreement with us”, as the President puts it, adding:
“So much for being Mr. Nice Guy!”
The 90-day hiatus
The “fast deal”, that Trumps is referring to, whas put in place two weeks ago, when China and the US agreed to halt the tariffs between the two economies for 90 days.
Unclear, what he means
