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
WASHINGTON - U.S. .
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.
