In a heated discussion on CNN, anchor Abby Phillip challenged GOP analyst Scott Jennings regarding President Trump's trade dealings with China, emphasizing that capitulation should not be treated as leverage. Following a turbulent period for the economy, a temporary 90-day truce was announced, but many, including Phillip, pointed out that no significant concessions were achieved. Jennings, defending Trump's strategy, claimed it aimed to create leverage for renegotiating trade deals prioritized for American workers. However, critics like Rep. Moskowitz argued that the execution of these policies was poor and that a more focused approach could have attracted bipartisan support.
