Recognizing and Identifying the problem as it is and relating it to the public is half the solution...Trump has been keenly aware of the problem with China for decades. If the Dems were in office it would just continue.
China’s Xi is certainly supporting whatever means is possible to prevent Trump’s reelection so is trying to stall these trade agreements.
There was an interview with Trump many years ago where he discussed what it was like doing business with foreign countries like those in the Middle East, and they ridiculed us and laughed at us because of the stupid agreements we made and adhered to, which allowed us to be financially undressed by them.
When Trump spoke about it, you could tell just by looking at him and listening to the tone of his voice that it really, REALLY burned him.
And here he is in 2019 in a position to do something about it. And he is.
