The growing U.S. trade deficit with China is a serious problem that undermines U.S. economic & national security.
After decades of offshoring production, jobs, & ceding industrial capacity to China, it’s time to reshore industries & strengthen domestic supply chains.
On the debt ceiling, my view is the most important deficit we face is the trade deficit with China. Every dollar represents jobs lost (60k & counting in Missouri), industry lost, communities decimated. We’ve got to quit making China rich & get good blue-collar jobs back in USA
