"I don't want to set the world on fire right now," Trump said during an exclusive interview on "The Next Revolution."
But "There has been no country that has ripped us off more than China...," he continued. "We lose billions, hundreds of billions of dollars. We get nothing from China. Yes, we get some goods that we could produce ourselves….[but] we get nothing. All we do is lose money."
Trump signed a landmark trade deal with China in January, easing tensions between the world’s two largest economies amid a trade war after accusations that China had for decades been manipulating its currency and stealing U.S. trade secrets.
Since the global coronavirus outbreak, however, Trump told Hilton that the deal is "longer the same to me" and raised the possibility of completely severing ties with the communist country.
"If they don't treat us right, I would certainly do that," he said.
