Trump’s top aide Sebastian Gorka told Fox News that Trump is not pleased with China this morning.
Watch below – he mentions China about 5 mins in:
This is interesting because doesn’t that mean that Trump gave away favorable trade conditions and got nothing in return? I thought he was the world’s best deal maker?
Here’s what he said earlier:
Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem? We will see what happens!

China is very much the economic lifeline to North Korea so, while nothing is easy, if they want to solve the North Korean problem, they will

But now he’s saying that they didn’t help at all. So do they still get their favorable trade concessions?
While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!

Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us – but we had to give it a try!

Doesn’t it kinda sound like he was played by China?
And yet Gorka says they have the “ace” to play, and he’s still waiting for them to play it. Meanwhile North Korea keeps getting worse..
