Trump's statement about signing the bill.
"I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars. That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As President, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress."
"Still, the bill remains seriously flawed ? particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch?s authority to negotiate. Congress could not even negotiate a healthcare bill after seven years of talking. By limiting the Executive?s flexibility, this bill makes it harder for the United States to strike good deals for the American people, and will drive China, Russia, and North Korea much closer together.
