00:21Today, I am hosting the President and his officials in the Chung-Nan High Compound for tea.
00:27This is the place where party and social government leaders of China work and live, including myself.
00:35After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the leadership have moved to this country, including the
00:44Chinese leaders,
00:45毛泽东,周恩来,邓小平,江泽民,吴锦涛, Mr. Wong.
01:05I have chosen this place especially to reciprocate the hospitality extended to me in 2017 at Mar-a-Lago.
01:14Thank you very much.
01:24Thank you very much.
01:57Well, this place used to be part of the Imperial Garden.
02:01Now, there is a lot of history around this compound.
02:04On our way in, we stayed to look at some of the old trees.
02:09One of them is 490 years old.
02:12In other places within this compound, there were trees that have lived to be over 1,000 years old.
02:18The President was interested to learn all about that, including the Chinese roses, which we looked at.
02:24And I have agreed to send the seeds for these roses to the President as a gift.
02:31I love that.
02:32That's great.
02:33Thank you, honey.
02:35That's great.
02:38I want to thank you very much.
02:40This has been an incredible visit.
02:42I think a lot of good has come of it.
02:47We've made some fantastic trade deals, great for both countries.
02:52He's a man I respect greatly.
02:55He's become really a friend.
02:56We've known each other now 11 years, almost 12 years.
02:58That's a long time.
03:00And we've settled a lot of different problems that other people wouldn't have been able to settle.
03:05And the relationship is a very strong one.
03:09We've really done some wonderful things, I believe.
03:14We did discuss Iran.
03:16We feel very similar to Iran.
03:19We want that to end.
03:21We don't want them to have a nuclear weapon.
03:23We want the straits open.
03:26We're closing it now.
03:27They closed it and we closed it on top of them.
03:29But we want the straits open.
03:32And we want them to get it ended because it's a crazy thing.
03:37They're a little bit crazy.
03:38And that's no good.
03:40Can't have it.
03:41They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
03:42But we discussed a lot of other things also.
03:45And I think we're very much in agreement.
03:47We're going to have some further discussions now with the group.
03:50But I just want to thank President Xi and all of his representatives.
03:54We've become friendly with all of them.
03:56Great people.
03:58And it's an honor to be here.
03:59We'll be back.
04:00And I believe on September 24th or thereabouts,
04:03President Xi is going to be coming to the United States.
04:06And we will be reciprocal, like reciprocal trade.
04:10The visit will be reciprocal.
04:12We're going to lay it on the line.
04:14And we're going to have — you're going to walk away hopefully very impressed,
04:19like I'm very impressed with China.
04:20And I just want to end by saying thank you very much.
04:24It's been really a great couple of days.
04:27Thank you very much.
04:27Thank you very much.
04:40Thank you very much.
05:21Thank you very much.
05:34Thank you very much.
