From his 60 minutes speech:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, they wouldn't win it necessarily, but they would certainly have– an equal advantage. Right now we're winning it because we're producing electricity like never before by allowing the companies to make their own electricity, which was my idea, which nobody, frankly, had thought of.
These massive plants that are being built are building their own electric generating plants along with the plant itself. And that gives them all the electric they need without going to an old grid that's, you know, 150 years old. And they're makin' it themselves, and then they're selling back any excess electricity into the grid, so we benefit in all ways.

NORAH O'DONNELL: Our own intelligence agencies say the Chinese have infiltrated parts of the American power grid and our water systems. They steal American intellectual property and Americans' personal information. They bought American farmland. How big of a threat is China?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It's like everybody else. We're a threat to them too. Many of the things that you say, we do to them. Look, this is a very competitive world, especially when it comes to China and the U.S. And we're always watching them, and they're always watching us. In the meantime, I think we get along very well, and I think it's I think we can be bigger, better, and stronger by working with them as opposed to just knocking them out
