HOST: Yeah. So then if there is room for a trade deal from an expert like you, that there's room for both sides to agree to a deal that would benefit both the United States and China. How would you advise President Trump in terms of his tactic and how he should approach China?
RLK: You know, I am not going to
be an expert in advising President Trump on tactics. I'm not sure he's amenable to advice and he has his own style.
RLK: And many people in the US — let’s put it on the table — who disagree with Trump on virtually every other policy — support Trump either overtly or quietly on his approach to China. And that's because there's general recognition in the US — from Bernie Sanders Democrats all the way on the left to the rightwing Republicans all the way on the right who favor Trump — that something needs to be done to alter the US trade relationships, and the US’ overall relationships, with China.
