Washington: If China is considered a developing country, make the United States too a developing one, US President Donald Trump said on Friday, alleging that Beijing has taken advantage of his country. I said well then make us a developing nation too,” Trump told reporters at his daily White House news conference on coronavirus. The United States is a big developed nation. Reiterating that the United States was taken advantage of by the World Trade Organization, Trump said the Chinese economy started booming after it joined WTO with the help of the US. “If you look at the history of China, it was only since they went into the WTO that they became a rocket ship with their economy. Alleging that China has taken advantage of the United States for 30 years, he said, China has taken advantage of the US through WTO and using rules that are unfair to the United States. “When China joined and was allowed to join under those circumstances the WTO, that was a very bad day for the United States because they have rules and regulations that were far different and far easier than our rules and regulations,” he said. The United States, he rued, is not considered a developing nation. For many years China has ripped off the United States.
