He said the US is going to get an outcome which forces China to behave in a way that ensures transparency, and respects the rule of law and intellectual property, adding that President Trump will press policies that “the American workers deserve”.
The statement came one day before President Trump’s new 200 billion USD of tariffs on Chinese exports takes effect on Monday. China has retaliated by taxing 60 billion USD worth of US products and filed a complaint with the WTO.
