Trump sharpens attack on Biden ahead of polls, says 'if he wins, China will own' US
Trump on September 7 slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and said that China will own America if he wins the November 3 election.
The United States President Donald Trump on September 7 slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and said that China will own America if he wins the November 3 election. While speaking to reporters, Trump pointed out that Biden supported two āmost disastrous trade dealsā - Chinaās entry into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Trump said, "Biden supported NAFTA and he supported China's entry into the World Trade Organisation--the two most disastrous deals in history. We are looking at the World Trade Organisation, they have been very nice to us and they are talking to us differently than they do because if they don't shape up, we will ship outā.
The US President further went on to slam China as well and said Beijing is ānot playing by the rulesā in the WTO. Trump told the reporters that the reason why WTO is so bad is that China didnāt play by the rules. He added that as China is a ādeveloping nationā the rules were āeasierā for them. āThey (China) had such a lower standard,ā he said.
While he slammed Biden by saying that China will own the US under his administration, he went on to claim that under his own administration, America would become a manufacturing superpower āending the relianceā with China. He added that whether its decoupling or putting in massive tariffs, his administration is going to end the reliance on China.
Trump gives Biden a new nickname
Both the leaders have repeatedly offered duelling arguments over which candidate can keep the country safe. Recently, Trump took a shot at Biden by calling him āJoe Hidenā and said that the former vice president has been āhidingā in the basement of his Delaware home during the campaign adding he, on the other hand, is frequently travelling and campaigning.
He called out Biden for being a ālow-energyā candidate saying the last thing American needs right now is a ālow-energyā individual. Joe Biden has been Trumpās target a number of times. Trump had called Biden, "Sleepy Joe", "Slow Joe" for what he sees as being low on energy.
