'Strength is the only way to win with China,' Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after President Donald Trump's latest tariff threat to China.
, he has found an ally in at least one key Democrat – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Schumer, who has largely cheered the president's efforts to crack down on what officials from both major parties call Chinese trade abuses, backed Trump again on Sunday. In a tweet, he urged the president to "hang tough on China." "Strength is the only way to win with China," said Schumer, who is otherwise at odds with Trump on a wide variety of policy issues.
The president plans to increase tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent on Friday, he tweeted on Sunday. He also threatened to "shortly" put tariffs on the remaining $325 billion in Chinese products on which the U.S. has not put duties. Trump's tariff threat upended trade talks with Beijing just as the White House touted progress toward a final agreement to resolve U.S. grievances such as intellectual property theft and trade deficits.
