For decades, Japan has been a friend and reliable trading partner with the United States, and I anticipate that relationship will prosper.

So that was Reagan's political problem. As a rancher in California, he was an environmentalist himself. But the President of the United States doesn't control everything that happens in Washington.

I am convinced that China needs to be a strong trading partner with the United States long term.
