Current Events > Charles Schumer, Minority Leader, thinks Trump's actions against China does not

(+) Yeah! (+)

Go far enough.

In a 10 minute address on the Senate floor today, Chuck states that the actions Trump had taken against China is a good start after years of weak inaction done by previous administrations. That tariffs and bans threatened by Trump, as a response to decades of IP theft and bad business deals by China, was a long overdue but welcomed response.

But later regretted how Trump softened on his stance by ignoring the Commerce Dept. ban against China's telecom ZTE and other recent moves to soften tensions between the two countries.

Frankly, it's amazing how the Senate minority leader approves and welcomes a tariff war with China, a scenario that every "liberal" on this board fears. And how he is dissapointed in Trump for not going farther in sanctions.

Also unrelated is his wishing of well regards to two folks undergoing/undergone surgery.
