President Biden argued that it never occurred to former President Trump to take a competitive stance against China, while rolling out a slew of actions Wednesday intended to protect the U.S. steel industry from Chinese exports.

Biden was in Pittsburgh at the United Steelworkers headquarters touting the new actions, which involves him calling on the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to consider tripling the existing 7.5 percent tariff rate on Chinese steel and aluminum imports.

The president also said to boost competition with China, he has revitalized partnerships in the Pacific with countries like India, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, and he has advanced technologies that can’t be sent to China in order to protect U.S. national security

“For all this tough talk on China, it never occurred to my predecessor to do any of that,” Biden said.

If you’re going to tell a lie tell a big one and tell it often.

He’s lying, but it sounds like he’s using some of those drugs his cohorts are bringing into the country.

Not clueless, it’s called deceit. More flat out lies for his idiot supporters who eat this BS up.

There’s a reason most people have never heard of “the Hill”.

Publishing moronic diatribes intended to make liberals look good doesn’t seem to be the best business model available.

Propping up the vegetable in the White House by repeating his nonsensical and laughable claims and seeming to agree with him by not calling out his BS with facts doesn’t seem to be something that gives an organization “credibility”.

IIRC, Trump put tariffs on lotsa goods. Biden took them all off.

Competitive? I have machine shop customers that have lost orders to China. They can’t even buy the material for what China quoted for the part machined. Dementia Joe is clueless.
