\"Q (Inaudible.) South Korea and Japan exports are (inaudible.)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. South Korea and I have made a deal. They\u2019ve agreed to pay a lot more money toward the United States. As you know, we\u2019ve got 32,000 soldiers on South Korean soil, and we\u2019ve been helping them for about 82 years. And we get nothing. We get virtually nothing. And South Korea and I have made a deal where they\u2019re paying a lot more money, and they\u2019re going to pay a lot more money. And the relationship is a very good one.<\/p>\n
But I felt, all along, I felt for years it was a very unfair one. So they\u2019ve agreed to pay a lot more, and they will agree to pay a lot more than that. And we\u2019re with them. We\u2019re with them. [...]<\/p>
Q Do you believe that your rhetoric has any impact on (inaudible)?<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don\u2019t think my rhetoric has at all. I think my rhetoric is a very \u2014 it brings people together. Our country is doing incredibly well. China is not doing well, if you look at the trade situation.<\/p>\n
China just admitted yesterday that they\u2019ve been a currency manipulator. First time they\u2019ve ever been called out. Companies are moving out of China by the thousands, and our country is doing very well. We\u2019re going to see how it all works out. Somebody had to do this with China because they were taking hundreds of billions of dollars a year out of the United States. And somebody had to make a stand. So, I think our country is doing really well.<\/p>\n
Q What\u2019s your reaction to the market reaction to the trade war? And what\u2019s next with China?<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: I think the market \u2014 I think the market reaction is anticipated. I would have anticipated. I would have maybe anticipated even more. But ultimately, it\u2019s going to go much higher than it ever would have gone because China was like an anchor on us. China was killing us with unfair trade deals. The people that allowed that to happen are a disgrace. China, what they were doing to us, for years and years, taking hundreds of billions of dollars out, stealing intellectual property, targeting our farmers. All of that is ending, and they understand that.\"
