At the Board of Peace event in Washington on Thursday, US President Donald Trump recalled his previous visit to China, sharing a light-hearted recollection from his time in the country.
Describing the trip as a “wild one" ahead of his upcoming visit to the nation, scheduled in April this year, Trump recalled how the Chinese President treated him “so well".
“Last time I went to China, President Xi treated me so well. He gave me a display… And it was pretty amazing."
“I never saw so many soldiers all the same height, exactly the same height. I said, if they put their helmets down, you could have played pool on the top of their heads. And it was pretty amazing," Trump said, drawing laughter from the audience.
