Pres. Trump gets rare support from some Democrats on US-China trade war: 'His instinct isn't wrong,' said Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. 'But what he's doing to solve the problem is actually only most painful for Americans, not the Chinese.'
With the world's two largest economies on the brink of an all-out trade war, President Donald Trump continues to insist that the U.S. is in a better position than China."The president is right to counter China," Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia said Tuesday."We're worried about the Chinese undercutting American industries. We're worried about Chinese thefts of intellectual properties.
"But my fear is that this president is so anxious to claim a victory that he may sacrifice the long-term interests of our country to claim a short term political victory," he added. "We're having a little squabble with China because we've been treated very unfairly for many, many decades -- for, actually, a long time. And it should have been handled a long time ago, and it wasn't. And we'll handle it now," Trump said.
"It's another one of the Trump lies when he says 'China pays for this.' American consumers are paying, American farmers are paying, American companies are paying and especially American workers are paying," Brown said. "What the president's doing is using tariffs as a tool to get them to change the behavior that leads to them cheating us out of market share," GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said."Somebody should have done this 30 years ago. And I'll stand behind the president."
