Trump and Xi com­pare his­to­ries dur­ing Nation­al Archives vis­it

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump and Chi­nese Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping com­pared the lengths of their respec­tive coun­tries’ his­to­ries dur­ing a vis­it to the Nation­al Archives.
“We’re just com­par­ing,” Trump told reporters Thurs­day in the Nation­al Archives’ rotun­da. “Ours goes 250 years. Which is great, and we’re proud of. Theirs goes 6,000 years. So there’s a lit­tle dif­fer­ence between 6,000 and 250. But we’re very proud of our 250.”
