President Trump spent nearly three minutes at a luncheon this week welcoming the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania whose difficult-to-pronounce names he never uttered publicly and saying he should be given credit for pressuring countries like theirs to give more money to NATO.
As he concluded, White House staffers began to shepherd a small group of journalists out of the room but Trump was far from done sharing his complaints. As reporters shouted questions about the plunging stock market and the brewing trade war with China, Trump quickly engaged.
I have to say this, Trump said during the appearance Tuesday afternoon, as Defense Secretary Jim Mattis unfurled a white napkin and placed it in his lap. China. I have great respect for President Xi. Two of the most incredible days of my life were spent in China. . . . Hes a tremendous person. But we have a problem with China.
