US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hailed trade relations with China, saying negotiations with Beijing on phase two of the trade deal will start shortly. Last week, the world's two biggest economies signed the long-awaited phase one agreement, marking a truce after nearly two years of tensions.
"Our relationship with China has probably never been better. We went through a rough patch," Trump said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"My relationship with Chinese president Xi Jinping is extraordinary. He's for China, I'm for the US but other than that we love each other," he added.
On Brexit, President Trump said he hopes to agree on a "tremendous" trade deal with the UK, adding that Prime Minister Boris Johnson also wants the same. He also praised Boris Johnson, calling him "a wonderful new prime minister" who "wants very much to make a deal".
On climate change, Trump said he was a "big believer in the environment" and added that the US would be joining the One Trillion Trees initiative. The US plans to plant 1 trillion trees sequestering over 200 gigatons of carbon in ten years.
