I am also encouraged that the Trump Administration is showing leadership in aggressively challenging China when it violates WTO rules.

A new era of fairer trade between China and the United States is in everyone's interest.

you are taking a comprehensive approach by challenging China at the World Trade Organization in cases.

Fairly traded goods should be excluded from our tariff actions, as should products that are otherwise unavailable to U.S. companies.

I will continue to work closely with the President and his team to ensure we minimize the impact to the United States and our allies as we take on China.

President Trump deserves significant credit for being the first President to confront China's unfair and predatory trade practices head-on.

A high-standard, fully enforceable bilateral investment treaty with China can help us address many of these issues for the long term.

this is the first comprehensive approach I have seen, and the one I think holds the most likelihood for success.

We can all strongly agree that China has cheated on trade for decades, severely harming American workers and businesses.

this is the first serious, substantive attempt to change China's misbehavior.

you really pulled back the curtain on China's trade practices and predatory trade practices.

Will the agreement that you are negotiating with China have measurable commitments in it?

I look forward to today's discussion about the challenges we face in China and our demand for China to negotiate in good faith.

Thank you, Chairman Neal, for convening this important hearing today.

I do believe that the Trump administration made some key moves over the last year, that have been almost a lifeline for some Americans who can't afford the Affordable Care Act.

Your belief and support for preexisting conditions is one of the reasons why Republicans fully support these preexisting conditions and no lifetime caps.

It is clear the status quo of America's healthcare isn't working.

I am convinced we can do better to make healthcare more affordable and have access that patients need.

I am proud to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Paulsen), an outstanding key member of the Ways and Means Committee.
