The White House spokesman made remarks on the trade issue.
According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News on April 16, US White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt said that it is necessary for other countries to reach a trade agreement with the United States, and US President Trump has clearly expressed his open attitude towards this.
The US has always considered itself a buyer's market, believing that others have to seek an agreement with the US because the US has money and can buy goods from any country. The US is indeed the largest consumer market in the world, but it is not the only one. The EU, ASEAN, the Middle East region, Latin America, and African markets are equally important, and their purchasing power is also strong. Our biggest advantage is that our products are highly competitive, not only good quality and low price, but also increasingly high-tech content. China is the largest trading partner of more than 150 countries and regions in the world, which enables us to better explore other markets. It is the US that seeks trade decoupling, not us. The US attempts to bully us through trade extortion, but the Chinese people will never accept it, and we will never allow others to bully us.
