President Putin of Russia called to thank me and the U.S. for informing them of a planned terrorist attack in the very beautiful city of Saint Petersburg. They were able to quickly apprehend the suspects, with many lives being saved. Great & important coordination!
I will be signing our very large and comprehensive Phase One Trade Deal with China on January 15. The ceremony will take place at the White House. High level representatives of China will be present. At a later date I will be going to Beijing where talks will begin on Phase Two!
St Petersburg, Russia is one of the few places overseas that I would like to visit. Unfortunately, Traveling is such a hassle that I probably never will. I am glad that no people or buildings over there were destroyed by the would-be terrorists.
