Trump Blames Richard Nixon for Having 'Unleashed' China: They 'Ripped Us Off From Day 1!'
"China has ripped us off from Day One. And you know, Richard Nixon, he allowed he allowed this to happen, Trump said. You know, he was the one who opened China. I said, Is that good or bad? You tell me.' he unleashed it. And we have a very strong adversary, and they only respect strength. Nixon is credited with starting the process of normalizing relations with China in 1972,"
"That Nov. 1 date coincides with Trump's expected meeting with Xi at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in South Korea. He made that announcement after China tightened its rules on rare earth minerals, forcing exporters to obtain a license from the government. Bartiromo asked Trump about the proposed 100% tariff, saying it would push the total tariff to 157% on Chinese goods. Can that stand? she asked. No, it's not sustainable, but that's what the number is, Trump responded."
Donald Trump blamed Richard Nixon for opening China and said the United States has been ripped off since normalization began in 1972. Trump said China respects strength and expressed a desire for a fair trade deal with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Trump threatened an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1, a date that coincides with an expected meeting with Xi at APEC. The tariff threat followed China's tightening of rules on rare earth mineral exports that require government licenses. Trump acknowledged the high tariff level may be unsustainable but said he gets along well with Xi.
