What the record showed
As president, Trump cited China's cooperation on North Korea on April 16, 2017, as a reason not to label it a currency manipulator. On June 20, 2017, he wrote: 'While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!' On April 27, 2018, he wrote: 'Please do not forget the great help that my good friend, President Xi of China, has given to the United States, particularly at the Border of North Korea.'
