Republican U.S. presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said on Sunday he would take steps to revoke China's permanent normal trade relations status if he won the 2024 White House race.
"I favor doing that. I think we probably need Congress but I would take executive action as appropriate to be able to move us in that direction," DeSantis said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
U.S.-China relations have been tense for years over national security issues including Taiwan, U.S. export bans on advanced technologies, China's state-led industrial policies, human rights issues, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and trade tariffs.
