‘Blood Money' Author Peter Schweizer Dismisses Sincerity of Biden's China Tariff Tough Talk
[Breitbart] Peter Schweizer, the author of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, dismissed President Joe Biden’s plan to call for raising tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum during a campaign speech to American steelworkers in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

"Joe Biden has given Beijing pretty much everything they want for three and a half years. China knows that Biden has to sometimes take aim at them. But Beijing regards his policies broadly as being highly favorable to them. They call this, ’Big help with a little bad mouth,'" Schweizer said in an exclusive quote to Breitbart News.

Biden, during a campaign stop speaking to the United Steelworkers union in Pennsylvania — a critical 2024 battleground state, will reportedly call on his United States Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, to triple the existing 7.5 percent tariff rates on steel and aluminum from China, amid labor unions’ concerns about Chinese competition and the future of the U.S. steel industry.

As the Democrat presidential candidate in 2020, Biden had previously opposed tariffs on Chinese imports when former President Donald Trump had imposed them, and said he would remove them, according to Forbes.

"Would you keep the tariffs?" Biden was asked.

"No. Hey, look," Biden responded. "Who said Trump’s idea is a good one?" before adding, "We’re going after China the wrong way."
