He also claimed that China desperately wanted Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden to win the U.S. election in November.

President Trump said Iran also wanted Biden to win, and that the country is desparate to make a new nuclear deal, which he said will be coming soon if he is reelected.

Trump said Biden got through his speech to the Democratic National Convention last week "in a very decent manner."

He said it was important to note what Biden didn't say, mentioning law enforcement in major U.S. cities that are run by Democrats.
