We are China’s largest customer. They know what, we know it, and we finally have a president that is willing to act like it. They need us. They are a debtor nation now too. If we put a tariff on goods from China they will be unable to do anything about it. What could they do? Sell our US bonds that they purchased years ago? They’ve been selling them. If they sold more it would just push the dollar down more and lower our US interest rates slightly. This would hurt them far, far more than it would hurt us. As a matter of fact it might help us more than hurt us in the short run. There’s a new president in town, China. And he is pro US.

We will not start a trade war to get China to act on North Korea.

That would hurt us as much as China and cause a worldwide economic disruption and possibly a world war.

We will (keeping China and Russia in the loop as much as possible) remove Kim militarily.

It has to be done.

That is what Nikki Haley and Trump are saying.
