Negotiating from a Position of Strength

Make no mistake: China wouldn't be anywhere near the negotiating table right now were it not for our tariffs.

We've had major problems with that country, ranging from unfair trade practices to rampant intellectual property theft. China will continue to abuse us, our companies, and markets until they realize we’re serious about putting an end to it.

That's precisely the message President Trump has sent with these tariffs. Yes, they've caused temporary pain here in the U.S. However, they’ve put China on its heels, and will ultimately make that country realize it’s in their best interest to be an ally and honorable trading partner with our nation.

I look forward to seeing the details of Phase One of these negotiations.
