Trump says China, US can ‘solve all of the world’s problems’ together

US president-elect Donald Trump said on Monday that Beijing and Washington could work together “to solve all of the problems of the world”, a sweeping statement issued little more than a month before he reassumes office.

Trump made the comment during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Florida, when asked about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s response to his invitation to attend the January 20 presidential inauguration. He also reportedly met with TikTok’s CEO Chew Shou Zi after the company petitioned the US Supreme Court to halt a law that appears set to ban the video sharing platform in the US.

Xi “hasn’t said one way or the other”, Trump said about the invitation.

That the issue was “something we barely discussed”, he said, adding that he has had “some very good conversations” with the Chinese leader through letters.

“You know, because China and the United States can, together solve all of the problems of the world, if you think about it. So it’s very important. And you know, he was a friend of mine”, Trump added.

Reflecting on the meeting the two men had at Mar-a-Lago in 2017, Trump said: “He was here for a long time, right in that spot, except sitting in a very comfortable chair. He wasn’t standing like you are. But we spent hours and hours talking, and he’s an amazing guy”.
