The US President also indicated plans to meet with China's President Xi Jinping in South Korea later this month to finalize a trade agreement, despite recent tensions over tariffs.
Last week, concerns of a potential trade war arose after China implemented new restrictions on rare earth exports, prompting the US to threaten increased tariffs on Chinese goods.
The US Treasury Secretary previously accused China of targeting global supply chains with these measures. However, the US President emphasized the need for both nations to thrive collectively.

Addressing recent geopolitical concerns, the President reaffirmed the strength of the US military, suggesting it would deter any aggressive actions by China towards Taiwan.
Despite acknowledging China's interest in Taiwan, he stated confidence in the bilateral relationship, countering a previous assessment from the Pentagon regarding potential military actions by China in 2027.
While discussing Taiwan, the President refrained from commenting on whether US support for Taiwan might be compromised as part of discussions with China.

The US remains a critical supporter of Taiwan, supplying weapons under US law, although the commitment to military intervention remains ambiguous.
