Grassley says China stalling on trade in hopes Democrat replaces Trump
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Wednesday that he now believes that China is intentionally stalling in trade talks with the U.S. in the hopes that a Democrat is elected in 2020 to replace President Trump.
The theory is one that Trump has repeatedly expressed.
"Looks like Pres Xi is taking the traditional 'long view' abt the trade negotiations counting on a Trump defeat in 2020 and having a more pliable Democrat to bargain with. My advice to Xi fr a lowly Senator is Chinese stalling will reelect Trump," Grassley tweeted. "Pres Xi" is a reference Chinese President Xi Jinping.
