on China, we are just a day into Trump's trip to China, and he hasn't done anything to ease concerns that he might sell out America. He arrived with a posse of billionaires in tow, including his own son, who oversees the family business. This kind of stuff is just incredible. So much for fighting against how China is hurting American workers and poisoning our communities with fentanyl. That would get in the way of Donald Trump and his family profiting off of doing business with the Chinese Communist Party--just hours in, and Xi Jinping has already threatened to ``collide or even clash'' with the United States if we continue our support for Taiwan. Trump, apparently, didn't say anything in response. He was just mute. For the sake of democracy and the stability of the global economy, Trump must not sell out Taiwan. Trump must also safeguard the interests of American workers, families, and businesses. Trump is continuing to roll forward on selling AI chips to Chinese companies that are linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premiere American technology--something we developed with our know-how, our entrepreneurship, our ingenuity--and just giving it away to China? That is dangerous and threatens the United States' lead in the AI race that is going to shape the global economy for decades. And chips aren't the only way Trump is selling out America.
