Chuck Schumer: “I don't often agree with the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, but they had it right this morning in…”

“I don't often agree with the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, but they had it right this morning in their op-ed. They said: Trump Has No China Trade Strategy. That is what The Wall Street Journal said. Trump Has No China Trade Strategy. I agree, Trump has no China trade strategy. Yesterday, President Trump shouted from the mountaintops that a trade deal with China has been ``done,'' but in reality, nothing of the sort happened. It is typical Trump. He just makes things up that he thinks please himself and please his rightwing for the moment. In truth, Donald Trump struck a feeble truce and calls it a victory. In fact, calling this a ``truce,'' calling it ``feeble'' would be putting it kindly. Donald Trump's actions with China and the handshake yesterday accomplished virtually nothing. China has outfoxed him, and we are just back where we started. After months of Donald Trump trying to talk tough on China, China today has more leverage over the United States than when Trump started on this venture. Donald Trump's trade war has been a colossal failure and a chaotic mess, with virtually nothing to show for it. Donald Trump should go back to the drawing board and start over and come up with a plan that actually goes after China, by joining with our allies instead of going to war with them, by having them be allies with us to put pressure on China.”
