- 7 years ago
President Trump on Monday said he'll be making a big statement on trade and North Korea on Wednesday.
President Trump on Monday said that, upon his return from Asia, he would be making a significant announcement that will touch upon trade and North Korea, reports Politico.
He has specified Wednesday as the day, noting it was selected, "to give reporters an opportunity to rest after the grueling tour."
Regarding trade, Trump has already revealed, "We've made some very big steps…far bigger than anything you know, in addition to about $300 billion in sales to various companies, including China."
"We have deficits with almost everybody," he further said. "Those deficits are going to be cut very quickly and very substantially."
What he will say about North Korea is less certain.
According to ABC News, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently noted that the president would soon decide whether or not to reinstate the nation's official listing as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Throughout his Asia trip, Trump has given mixed comments on the country, at one point saying it would be a "good thing' if he and leader Kim Jong-un could become "friends."
However, during a speech given in South Korea, Trump warned North Korea, "Do not underestimate us. Do not try us. We will defend our common security, our shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty."
Trump also, in a tweet, called the North Korean leader "short and fat."
