"AFP CORRESPONDENT DANNY KEMP: President Xi, a couple of years ago, when President Biden met him in San Francisco, he was asked if he thought President Xi was a dictator. Do you think President Xi is a dictator? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Wuh I think that President Biden was an incompetent president. He gave us the Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon within a matter of years from the time they said, I terminated it. If I didn't terminate that, Iran would have a new weapon that they would have used it within probably two years ago, three years ago. If I didn't go in with the B-2 bombers nine months ago, Iran would have a nuclear weapon and nobody would be able to talk to them. By the way, they would've used it already."
"AFP CORRESPONDENT DANNY KEMP: But do you think President Xi is a dictator or not? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don't think about it. He's the ruler, he's the president of China. I don't think about it. You deal with what you have. I respect him. He's very smart. He loves his country. I respect them. Whether he's a dictator, that's for you to figure out."
"Trump emerged in the press cabin aboard Air Force One on the trip home to answer questions for nearly half an hour. When AFP White House Correspondent Danny Kemp asked Trump if Xi is a dictator, Trump immediately launched into an attack on former President Joe Biden. When Kemp pressed, Trump took another shot at sidestepping a direct response."
Trump fielded questions aboard Air Force One after a high-profile trip to Beijing. He was asked whether Xi Jinping is a dictator. When pressed, Trump responded by attacking former President Joe Biden, citing the Iran nuclear deal and claiming he terminated it. He also referenced B-2 bombers and asserted that without his actions Iran would have obtained a nuclear weapon. When the question was repeated, Trump said he does not think about whether Xi is a dictator, described Xi as the ruler and president of China, and said he respects Xi as smart and devoted to his country. He added that whether Xi is a dictator is for others to determine.
