![“[China] don't follow the rules and, if they don't, we're going to institute tariffs. When they send something into our country - and, believe me, they're going to obey our rules so quickly, you have no idea. And we'll end up with a better relationship with China than we do now.” quote by Donald Trump](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aa5/donald-trump-18_believe_china-don-t-follow-the-rules-and-if-they_301285.jpg)
