| Trump Says US Could ‘Decouple’ and Not Do Business With China |
| 2020-08-24 |
| [NTD] President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview airing Sunday, raised the possibility of decoupling the U.S. economy from China, a major purchaser of U.S. goods. In a video excerpt, Trump initially told interviewer Steve Hilton “we don’t have to” do business with China, and then later said about decoupling, “Well it’s something that if they don’t treat us right I would certainly, I would certainly do that.” Trump entered into a high-stakes trade war with China before reaching a partial Phase 1 trade deal in January. Trump has since shut the door on Phase 2 negotiations, saying he was unhappy with Beijing’s handling of the pandemic. In June U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies will result if U.S. companies are not allowed to compete on a fair and level basis in China’s economy. |

| #10 If China really has been shipping BLM/Antifa weapons, along with providing training out of the Houston embassy. we can expect an explosion from their proxies immediately following any decoupling announcement. Unless what we are seeing now is that explosion in concert with Democratic Party proxies. |

| #8 A decoupling at a time when China is facing severe food shortages would be a disaster for Beijing. In expectation that the USA is fed up, watch Chinese food purchases in the USA over the next six weeks or so. They should explode. |

| #1 President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview airing Sunday, raised the possibility of decoupling the U.S. economy from China, a major purchaser of U.S. goods. I'm sure the EU would step in to fill the gap. |
