President Donald Trump appealed to Americans’ patriotism in the trade war with China, as he met with Poland’s president at the White House.
‘THESE PEOPLE ARE GREAT PATRIOTS’
Trump on Twitter both warned China against taking retaliatory action as well as expressed hope that Americans would rally to his side if it did.

Trump on Twitter both warned China against taking retaliatory action as well as expressed hope that Americans would rally to his side if it did.
Beijing has responded to Trump’s imposing $200 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods by announcing it would take retaliatory tariff action against $60 billion of American goods.
“China has openly stated that they are actively trying to impact and change our election by attacking our farmers, ranchers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me,” the president tweeted Tuesday.
“What China does not understand is that these people are great patriots and fully understand that China has been taking advantage of the United States on trade for many years. They also know that I am the one that knows how to stop it. There will be great and fast economic retaliation against China if our farmers, ranchers and/or industrial workers are targeted!”
In comments alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda in the Oval Office, Trump said the U.S. will probably have no choice but to impose another $267 billion in duties on Chinese goods.

Investors shrugged off trade tensions on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumping by more than 185 points.
The U.S. did reduce the planned tariff rate on Chinese goods, and China did the same for its retaliatory action.
