Trump’s main focus was on trade, but he also briefly touched on discussions held on curbing “uncontrolled migration” and combating terrorism and those who continue to spread the “deadly ideology” across the world.

“The U.S. has been taken advantage of for decades and decades and we can’t do that any more,” he stated, turning the conversation back toward his ongoing trade war. “That’s not going to work any more.”

“We can coordinate together and achieve a common good for all our people, all of our nations,” he added, signaling at least some productive negotiations took place at the summit. “We’re linked in an effort to create a more prosperous world … I think they’re starting to be more committed to a more fair trade situation for the United States.”

The president clarified that he doesn’t blame other heads of state for trying to take advantage of the U.S., but instead he blames “our past leaders for that.”

“In fact, I congratulate the leaders of other countries for crazily being able to make these trade deals, but those days are over.”

Finally, Trump turned his attention to Tuesday’s upcoming summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump stated the North Korean regime is “working very well with us” before calling his upcoming trip to Singapore a “mission of peace.”

Trump also said he would know “within the first minute” whether his upcoming meeting with Kim would be productive.
