WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signaled a further
deterioration of his relationship with China over the novel coronavirus,
saying he has no interest in speaking to President Xi Jinping right now and
going so far as to suggest he could even cut ties with the world’s second
largest economy.

美國總統川普說他現在沒興趣跟習近平說話，甚至暗示說要跟世界第二大經濟體中國
「斷絕關係」。

In an interview with Fox Business Network broadcast on Thursday, Trump said
he was very disappointed with China’s failure to contain the disease and
that the pandemic had cast a pall over his January trade deal with Beijing,
which he has previously hailed as a major achievement.

“They should have never let this happen,” Trump said. “So I make a great
trade deal and now I say this doesn’t feel the same to me. The ink was
barely dry and the plague came over. And it doesn’t feel the same to me.”



Trump’s pique extended to Xi, with whom the U.S. president has said
repeatedly he has a good relationship.

“But I just – right now I don’t want to speak to him,” Trump said in the
interview, which was taped on Wednesday.

Trump was asked about a Republican senator’s suggestion that U.S. visas be
denied to Chinese students applying to study in fields related to national
security, such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence.

川普被問到，「一名共和黨議參議員提案說，如果中國留學生想申請的研究領域涉及到美
國國家安全的話，例如量子計算或是AI，我們就應該要限制發簽證給這群中國留學生。」

“There are many things we could do. We could do things. We could cut off the
whole relationship,” he replied.

川普回答說，「我們可以有很多方法，美國甚至可以斷絕與中國的所有關係。」

“Now, if you did, what would happen? You’d save $500 billion,” Trump said,
referring to estimated U.S. annual imports from China, which he often refers
to as lost money.

記者問到，「如果美國與中國斷絕關係會發生什麼事？」
川普回答，「那我們可以省下５千億美元」

The remark drew ridicule from Hu Xijin, editor in chief of China’s
influential Global Times tabloid, who referred to Trump’s much-criticized
comments last month about how COVID-19, the disease caused by the
coronavirus, might be treated.

“This president once suggested COVID-19 patients inject disinfectants,” Hu
said on Twitter. “Remember this and you won’t be surprised when he said he
could cut off the whole relationship with China.”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox Business Network China needed
to provide a lot more information about the coronavirus and Trump was
reviewing his options.

“The president is concerned. He’s reviewing all his options. Obviously, we’
re very concerned about the impact of this virus on the economy, on American
jobs, the health of the American public and the president is going to do
everything to protect the economy and protect American workers,” Mnuchin
said.
