Washington
\nUS President Donald Trump has said that his administration has taken the \u201ctoughest-ever action\u201d to crack down on China\u2019s unfair trade practices.<\/p>\n
Trump has been steadily hiking tariffs on Chinese exports to the US since June, asking Beijing to bring down the billions of dollars of trade deficit.<\/p>\n
He has taken an unprecedented tough measure against the alleged unfair trade practices of China. The US has a nearly USD 500 billion trade deficit with China per annum, which Trump says is unsustainable for the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have taken the toughest-ever action to crack down on China\u2019s unfair trade actions and trade abuses,\u201d Trump told his cheering supporters at an election rally in Ohio on Friday.<\/p>\n
Among the steps being taken by the US include imposing additional 25 per cent tariff on import of Chinese products worth USD 250 billion, announcing new curbs of nuclear technology trade with China and taking steps to stop China from allegedly stealing intellectual property from the US.<\/p>\n
Trump patted on his back with regard to his China policy as he listed out the achievements of his administration and the steps that has strengthened the American economy and creating jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to our tariff and especially on steel that\u2019s been dumped all over this country, the Ohio steel industry and the US steel industry is roaring back to life and soon will be hitting its most successful years ever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Last week, he announced the replacement of North America Free Trade Agreement \u201cwith the incredible, brand-new\u201d US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the USMCA, Trump said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s opening up Canada, opening up Mexico for our farmers, everybody,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump said that at his direction, the Pentagon is now working to create the sixth branch of the American armed forces called the Space Force.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s very important. Hate to say it, but very soon, that\u2019s where it\u2019s going to be at. It\u2019s going to be space, everything, defence, offense, everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Referring to his withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, Trump said that this was one-sided.<\/p>\n
\u201cI withdrew the United States from the horrible one-sided Iran nuclear deal and look what happened to Iran,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
