- Does not view US trade policy as my way or the highway
- Has had direct discussions with Chinese on trade but progress has not been sufficient
- US needs to be prepared to act in defense of free and fair trade
- Steel and aluminum tariffs was a very small part of G 20 discussions
- This is not about protectionism, this is about free and fair trade
