## Transcript

I always say to my colleagues when I meet other world leaders. I say would you trade places with China to trade places are problems that got a population that is more people in retirement than working. They're not they're not important either not bring it there and there's an phobic know nobody coming else coming in. They've got real problems. I'm out looking for a fight with China. I'm looking for competition, but Fair competition. I made sure that we have the most Advanced Technologies that we've developed and then it and they can't be sent to China or under my name because it'll undermine our national security when I spoke with she's you can you see why I said we could use it for all the wrong reasons.

So you're not going to get those Advanced computer chips. Find me for all this stuff talk on China. It never occurred to my predecessor to do any of that. The bottom line is I want Fair competition with trying to not conflict and R in a stronger position to win the economic competition at 21st century against China and he will because we're investing in America and America.
