"Air Force One ran into some serious turbulence over Asia Thursday, causing the plane to shake as President Donald Trump headed back to the U.S. from South Korea. The president and trade representative Jamieson Greer tried to answer reporters' questions about tariffs as the plane shook, causing Trump to joke: These are rough winds in Asia. I must tell you, this is a rough flight. We could have waited an hour maybe. These are tough conditions for interviews!"
"Once Trump got his footing, Trump said that one of the subjects he and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked about the war in Ukraine. We talked about it for a long time, and we're both going to work together to see if we can get something done, Trump said. And we agreed the sides are locked in, fighting, and sometimes you have to let them fight, I guess. Crazy. But he's going to help us and we're going to work together on Ukraine."
"It's not a lot more we can do. He's been buying oil from Russia for a long time. It takes care of a big part of China. You know, I can say India's been very good on that front. But we didn't really discuss the oil. Earlier, Trump said that on a scale of one to 10, his meeting with Xi was a 12, adding, a truly great meeting."
