Trump Talks Chinese Railroad Workers, Chinese Restaurants in Toast

President 👤Donald Trump had some interesting talking points during his toast at the State Banquet with China’s President 👤Xi Jinping.

Those topics included Chinese railroad workers and Chinese restaurants.

Trump is in China where he was greeted with pomp and circumstance to mark the occasion.

Trump spoke highly about his relationship with Xi at their first official meeting.

“You and I have known each other now for a long time. In fact, the longest relationship of our two countries that any president and president has had, and that’s, to me, an honor. We’ve had a fantastic relationship, Trump told Xi.

Trump then delivered a toast at the State Banquet in the Great Hall of the People.

His toast included cheerful references to the “Chinese workers” who helped build the transcontinental railroad. This was a brutal process for those workers that killed thousands. He also praised Americans for “spreading literacy” to China.

“Across the centuries, this mutual esteem grew into a relationship that reflected the tremendous talent and potential of our two people,” the president said.

“Chinese workers helped lay the railroad tracks that connected our Atlantic coast to the Pacific.

American travelers to China helped spread literacy and modern medicine,” he continued.
