SCMP/Agencies: Donald Trump takes aim at China over ‘trade imbalance’ but hails progress on North Korea during UN address
Trump condemned Iran, which he claimed does ‘not respect their neighbours or borders or the sovereign rights of nations’
US President Donald Trump launched a veiled attack on China on matters of trade on Tuesday, insisting “the US will not be taken advantage of any longer” while addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“We will no longer allow our workers to be victimised, our companies to be cheated, or our wealth to be plundered,” the president said, hitting out at the “trade imbalance” with China.
Trump said he has respect for Chinese President Xi Jinping, but that China’s practices could not be tolerated. The US and China have continued to spar over increasing tariffs.
Trump also hailed his administration’s “bold push for peace with North Korea”.
