Robert E. Lighthizer: “I strongly believe any new or renegotiated trade agreements should build on the best text available.”

In our view, you can't be in the position where we are the residual of Chinese state capitalism.

It is not about aid, it is about trade. And it is not about short-term bailouts, it is about long-term business.

We have a trade deficit with China which is unsustainable, $375 billion, most of which... is a result of state capitalism.

In addition to China we need to continue to move forward with USMCA, we need to bring down the 232 tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
