## Transcript

Chief among these threats is the North Korean nuclear menace. As I stated in my address to the National Assembly you saw yesterday, the United States is committed to the complete and permanent denuclearization of North Korea, so important. China can fix this problem easily. And quickly. And I am calling on China and your great president to hopefully work on it very hard. I know one thing about your president, if he works on it hard it will happen. There's no doubt about it. [ LAUGH ] They know. We call on all nations to implement UN security council sanctions and resolutions and to cease doing business with the North Korean regime.

All nations must come together to ensure that this rogue regime cannot threaten the world with its nuclear weapons. I thank President Xi for his recent efforts to restrict trade with North Korea and to cut off all banking ties. Mr. President, thank you, and thank you to all of the Chinese business leaders here today for standing with the United States and our coalition of responsible nations. But time is quickly running out. We must act fast and hopefully China will act faster and more effectively on this problem than anyone. I'm also calling on Russia to help rein in this potentially very tragic situation.

Both the United States and China will have a more prosperous future if we can achieve a level economic playing field. Right now, unfortunately, it is a very one- sided and unfair one. But, I don't blame China. [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? I give China great credit. [ APPLAUSE ] But in actuality I do blame past administrations for allowing this out- of- control trade deficit to take place and to grow. We have to fix this because it just doesn't work for our great American companies.

And it doesn't work for our great American workers. It is just not sustainable. I look forward to working towards that goal and to pursuing fair and lasting engagement.
