President Donald Trump spoke with reporters outside the White House on Friday afternoon before he left for Camp David.
The president answered questions for over 20 minutes before departing on Marine One to the Maryland Presidential compound.
During the presser President Trump told reporters that 13% of US companies will be leaving China and doing business elsewhere due to the current tariffs on Chinese goods coming to America.
The Economic Times broke this news earlier today.
This is a huge blow to the Chinese economy!
President Trump: It’s a bad situation they put themselves in. And I just saw, it came over the wires that 13% of certain companies are going to be leaving China in the not too distant future. That’s a big thing. 13% of companies will be leaving Chinain the fairly near future. And I’m not surprised to hear that. And I think it’s going to be much higher.
