President Donald Trump is traveling aboard Air Force One on Thursday on a long flight from South Korea back to Washington, D.C., following meetings with leaders from multiple Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea and China.
During the flight, the president walked back to the press section of the plane to speak with reporters.
Trump spoke about his meeting Wednesday evening with Chinese president Xi JinPing, and said, “I thought it was an amazing meeting… a lot of decisions were made, too — there wasn’t too much left out there, and we’ve come to conclusion on many very important points.”
“Tremendous amounts of the soybeans and other farm products are going to be purchased immediately… on fentanyl, we agreed that he was going to work very hard to stop the flow… based on his statements today, I reduced [the fentanyl tariff] by 10%,” Trump explained.

At one point, Trump joked about the extreme turbulence as he was trying to stand and speak to the reporters.
“These are rough winds in Asia, I must tell you. This is a rough flight… they’re going to be watching Trump, they’re going to say, ‘He didn’t look too good, he’s got the shakes!'” he quipped.
