"China was brutal to our Farmers, I [told] these Patriots to just hold on, and a great trade deal was made," the president claimed.
He encouraged farmers to hold on, saying he will protect them, and bashed former President Joe Biden, claiming China had "ZERO" respect for his administration.
He also acknowledged that China has halted Boeing jet deliveries as part of the tit-for-tat trade war.
