Most Constructive And Productive Meeting With Xi

I raised areas where the United States has concerns about the PRC's actions, including detain and ex -- ban (ph) the US citizens, human rights and corrective -- coercive activities in the South China Sea.

More people in the United States between the ages of 18 to 49 die from fentanyl than from guns, car accidents or any other cause, period.

We're reassuming military-to-military contact -- direct contacts.

The two countries must be able to have diplomacy, that there must be communication between the two countries

We will defend Taiwan, and we want it to stay in the safe status that it enjoys right now.

We talked about the idea that I should be able to pick up the phone and call him, and he should be able to pick up the phone directly and call me. I will take the call.

He wants to make very clear that Israel has no business staying in Gaza after the war. There should be no occupation at all by Israel.

In his mind there will not be an ultimate solution here until there is a two-state solution.

It's clear that we object to Beijing's non-market economic practices and disadvantage -- that disadvantage American businesses and workers.

I trust but verify, as the old saying goes. That's where I am.

Who supports humanitarian aid into Gaza with appropriate measures of inspection? The Israeli Government. They say it is critical to bolstering their national security. Look up. Look back. Look forward. Look up; you will see the missiles…

When Hamas said they plan on doing the same thing again, what they did, what they did on the seventh. They're going to go in there, they want to slaughter Israelis.

Look, he is. I mean, he's a dictator in the sense that here's a guy who runs a country that is (inaudible) based on the government (inaudible).

I'm doing everything in my power to get you out. Coming to help you, to get you out.

I think the only answer here is a two-state solution. That's real.

I still consider President Xi a dictator, given that this was a comment he had made earlier this year.

I think it's a big mistake for them to think they're going to occupy Gaza and maintain Gaza. I don't think that works.
