Denial of President Trump's suggestion that the US-China trade agreement be abolished June 23, 15:06
In the Trump administration of the United States, President Navarro, who is known for being hard-lined against China, made a statement suggesting that the US-China trade agreement involving the mass purchase of American agricultural products be abolished, and President Trump said this. Immediate denial suggests that he is nervous about responding to the support base ahead of the fall presidential election.
Navalo Presidential Assistant to the Trump administration, who is known as a hard-liner in China, appeared on the FOX TV program on the 22nd.
In this, Admiral Navarro criticized that the Chinese side did not convey information on the spread of the new coronavirus in the negotiations regarding the first-stage trade agreement between the United States and China signed in mid January. He said that some local media suggested that the agreement be abandoned, saying that the agreement was over.
Immediately after the statement, however, President Trump denied it by saying in a post on Twitter that "the agreement with China is intact. China will keep its promise."
The first stage of the trade agreement involves the purchase of large quantities of American agricultural products from China, and it is considered that if the agreement is abandoned, it may lead to a backlash from supporters' farmers. I will.
Assistant Navarro later corrected the point of the statement, but President Trump's move suggests that he is enthusiastic about responding to the support base as he refrains from the presidential election in the fall.
