Pointed out no one had negotiated for farmers before he became president, and he managed to bump up China’s agreement to $50 billion: ‘They were doing good, ’cause they knew I was watching’
Former President Donald Trump held a roundtable Monday in Smithton, Pennsylvania, to discuss some of the pressing issues the U.S. is facing, and how the U.S. can better protect America’s food supply from China.
“We made a deal with China, was one of my best that I made, and I made a lot of good deals…but we had a specific deal with China, where they were gonna buy $50 billion worth of farm product, and it’s interesting how we got there, because when the negotiation was going on, and it was a nasty negotiation, and I said to the farmers, ‘just stick with me, because we’re gonna do it,'” Trump said.
