Trump: Xi "said we have the hottest country anywhere in the world" (of course, he did not say that, but why quibble?)

Q: On TS, you said Xi made a reference to the decline of the US. But we didn't hear him say that.


TRUMP: He made a statement. It might not have been from him. It was somebody. But he said today the US was declining for the last 4 years. He said we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
