00:00Trump blames Nixon

00:02President Donald Trump recently blamed former President Richard Nixon for setting China

00:06on the path to becoming a global economic superpower, accusing the 37th president of

00:12having unleashed Beijing and allowing it to exploit the U.S. for decades.

00:17News.com has learned that the remarks came during an interview on Sunday Morning Futures

00:22with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, during which Trump also defended his plan to impose

00:27steep tariffs on Chinese imports starting November 1st.

00:31China has ripped us off from day one, Trump told Bartiromo during the interview.

00:36And you know, Richard Nixon, he allowed this to happen.

00:39You know, he was the one who opened China.

00:41I said, is that good or bad?

00:43You tell me.

00:44He unleashed it.

00:45And we have a very strong adversary.

00:47And they only respect strength.

00:50Nixon's February 1972 visit to Beijing marked a pivotal moment in Cold War history, re-establishing

00:56diplomatic communication between the U.S. and China after two decades of estrangement.

01:02The visit led to the Shanghai Communiqué, a joint statement laying the groundwork for

01:06formal diplomatic relations, which were fully normalized under President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

01:13The move is often credited with integrating China into the global economy, a development

01:17Trump now portrays as a costly mistake for America.

01:21Trump's comments came as the president renewed his threat to impose a 100 percent tariff on

01:26Chinese goods beginning November 1st.

01:28He linked the move to China's new export restrictions on rare earth minerals, a critical component

01:34in technology manufacturing.

01:36The proposed measure would raise total tariffs on Chinese imports to roughly 157 percent, according

01:42to Bartiromo.

01:43Asked whether such tariffs were sustainable, Trump replied, no, it's not sustainable.

01:48But that's what the number is.

01:49It's probably not.

01:50You know, it could stand.

01:52But they forced me to do that.

01:53Despite his criticism, Trump insisted he maintains a working relationship with Chinese President

01:58Xi Jinping, adding, I think we're going to do fine with China.

02:01I get along great with Xi.

02:03Trump's new tariffs are expected to roll out as he meets Xi at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation

02:08Summit in South Korea.

02:10He said he wants a fair trade deal, but warned that China only respects strength.

02:15The administration has not yet clarified whether negotiations will accompany the tariffs.
