"I'm sitting here listening to a case that even people from CNN and MSDNC say should never be brought. I've been sitting here for almost four weeks, and we still have a long way to go," Trump added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing Thursday, where the two pledged to strengthen their countries' ties with one another.
"This partnership is without a doubt exemplary for how the relationship between neighboring states should be," Putin said, according to Politico. "Our cooperation in global affairs today is one of the main stabilizing factors in the global arena."
Xi said China is ready to "uphold fairness and justice in the world."
"The China-Russia relationship today is hard-earned, and the two sides need to cherish and nurture it," Xi added.

Trump's warning about China and Russia came as he wrapped up his 18th day in Manhattan court, where he is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records.
JIM JORDAN DEMANDS NY AG HAND OVER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO FORMER DOJ OFFICIAL AT HEART OF NY V. TRUMP
Thursday's day in court heard continued cross-examination testimony from former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. The case focuses on the prosecution team working to prove Trump falsified business records 34 times to conceal a $130,000 payment to former pornography star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her claims of an affair with Trump.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case and has maintained his innocence.

Cohen said he was "reimbursed $420,000" for the payment, a sum he said was "grossed up" to prevent loss of funds to taxes, and argued that Trump was aware of the details of the payments. The checks themselves were described as a "retainer," which Cohen said was a false description.
Cohen will resume his testimony Monday morning under cross-examination, though Trump's legal team said they expect to wrap up questioning early Monday morning. Closing arguments could begin as early as Tuesday.
