After today and considering all that you've been through in the past year, would you say, Mr. President, that you trust President Xie?

[00:00:06]

Do I trust you? I trust but verify as that old saying goes. That's where I am. I think I know the man. I know his modus operandi. We have disagreements. He has a different view than I have on a lot of things, but he's been straight. I don't mean that he's good, better, or different. He's just been straight. And so, as I said, the thing that I find most assuring is he raised, and I fully agree that either one of us have any concern, Mr. Ambassador, any concern about anything between our nations or happening in our region, we should pick up the phone and call one other and we'll take the call.
