Graham on China: ‘When It Comes to a Trade War, We’ve Got More Bullets Than They Do’

During Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told host Martha MacCallum the United States had a good hand when it came to engaging China in a trade dispute.

Graham downplayed market jitters and encouraged President Donald Trump to “play it out.”

“The goal is to get China to stop cheating the United States out of market share, to play by the rules that everybody else in the world plays by,” he said. “When it comes to a trade war, we’ve got more bullets than they do, so I think the president is determined to get China to change their behavior and I’m 100 percent with him.”

This is how Reagan broke the back of the USSR. Start a spending war, and we simply outlasted them.

Fixing this horribly inequitable trade with communist china is long long overdue. Yes it may involve some short term pain to fix. But it’s imperative if USA and our economy and jobs are to continue

Why is it a trade war only when we respond to Chinese cheating?

It’s understandable that China is loathed to give up advantages that allowed it to become the number 2 power in the world.

The Chinese are shooting all blanks. They just use more powder (otherwise known as the liberal media).

Long past time for Flimsey Grahamnesty to be replaced with a patriot.

THREE amnesty attempts were enough for me.
