[Financial Times] How ambitious do you want to be with China? Could we see a grand bargain that solves North Korea, takes American troops off the Korean peninsula and really changes the landscape out there?
[Donald Trump] Well, if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you.
[FT] And do you think you can solve it without China’s help?
[DT] Totally.
[FT] One on one?
[DT] I don’t have to say any more. Totally.
[FT] Do you start with North Korea and talk about trade, or pivot around?
[DT] I’m not going to tell you. You know, I am not the United States of the past where we tell you where we are going to hit in the Middle East. Where they say — I used it in the speeches — ‘We will be attacking Mosul in four months’. A month later, ‘We will be attacking Mosul in three months, in two months, in one month’. And why are they talking? There is no reason to talk.
