So Trump opens up the door to 600,000 Chinese students amid Beijing trade talk.

0:06.9

So first, Trump threatens 200% tariffs on China over a key part that shut down U.S. car plans.

0:13.8

Okay, so this is straight up the same day he's doing this.

0:17.7

He's doing the other side.

0:19.1

He says, Trump says, if I wanted to destroy China, I would, but I want to have a great relationship with them. Rob, I know. I just called you, Gi-Rob. If we have a couple of these clips, I want to go through it. Is this one I want to have a good relationship with them? This is the 200% tariffs. I also have that one as well. So let's go with the 200 200% tariff, and we'll go through these, and it will react. But we have a very strong relationship, Howard, I would say, you economically with China now getting much better. They have to give us magnets. If they don't give us magnets, then we have to charge them 200% tariff or something, you know. But we're not going to have a problem, I don't think,

0:54.8

with that. We've, I think, that's perhaps behind us. You know, China intelligently went and they

1:00.1

sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets. And nobody needed magnets until they convinced

1:05.8

everybody 20 years ago, let's all do magnets. There were many other ways that the world could

1:10.2

have gone. But so it'll take us probably a year to have them. We're heavy into the world of magnets now,

1:16.8

only from a national security standpoint. But we have a powerful thing. It's airplane parts,

1:23.9

they have many Boeing jets. You know, they had 200 jets that didn't fly.

1:35.1

And I've sent them all, based on his word, I sent them all of the parts so their planes can fly.

1:39.4

I could have held them back. I didn't do that because of the relationship I have.

3:10.6

And their planes are now flying. You know, we had 200 of their planes were unable to fly because we were not giving them Boeing parts purposely because they weren't giving. You can pause it right there. So he's doing this. He's doing the Trump negotiation thing. The Magnus, they convince. I hope they don't do that. We'll see if they don't 200 percent tariffs. We don't want to do that. We want to have a good relationship. And this is what? This is him and Xi. This is where he says he could destroy China. In front of them. We're going to have a great relationship with China. I mean, it's happening. You see it. It's happening. They have some cards. We have incredible cards, but I don't want to play those cards. If I played those cards, that would destroy China. I'm not going to play those cards. It's so typical of Trump. Only guy is sitting right there. Tom. You saw the face? The other guy is just like... So, Tom, three things here. 600,000 Chinese students. Rob, do you have that one? That's this one right here. Go ahead. Keep going. President Xi would like me to come to China. It's a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different things. It's a very important relationship. We're going to get along good with China. I hear so many stories about we're not going to allow their students. We're going to allow their students to come in. We're going to allow, it's very important, 600,000 students. It's very important. But we're going to get along with China. But it's a different relationship that we have. Tom, three topics. Specifically China relationship, 600,000 students, 200% tariffs.

3:23.4

Thoughts on this? So first of all, the president's making nothing signed, and the president is trying to set the table to have a relationship with China or to have some kumbaya here to get to the real meat.

3:25.7

This is just the order of it was in the salad.

3:30.5

The meat of the meal is the big time trade deal and what's going on.

3:32.6

And Magnets is one of the key items.

3:33.6

That's why he's bringing it up.

3:35.1

Chips is one of the others.

3:37.1

Security for Taiwan is one of the others.

3:40.0

So there is a big negotiation coming up.
