U. S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday morning to defend his decision not call China out over alleged currency manipulation and to also address Saturday’s protests over not releasing his tax returns.
During the 2016 U. S. election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to declare China a currency manipulator .
On Friday, the U. S. Treasury released its semi-annual trade report, which failed to label China a currency manipulator as Trump had previously stated.
“Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem?” Trump asked Sunday.
Trump is the first U. S. president in over 40 years to not release his tax returns. Trump initially claimed he was under audit so he couldn’ t release the returns but after the U. S. Treasury said that was not the case, the president then suggested voters don’ t care.
