have been hurt by the tariffs and are urging both sides to refrain from further escalation.
"I have a hard time imagining that we will get to the 2020 election without seeing a significant impact to people's pocketbooks," Ashton said.in the face of U.S. provocation and that "seems like a positive thing." However, she added, the reprieve might only be temporary. Once retaliation resumes, "I think that we will just see more high-stakes brinksmanship from the U.S. side and this could go on and on and keep getting worse."
President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, August 15, 2019.On the use of punitive tariffs, Ashton said they have "actually made it more difficult" for the two parties to discuss "fundamental issues" that were initially brought up, such as intellectual property protection and forced technology transfer.
Regardless of the outcome of the 2020 U.S. elections, she said she expects "any American administration henceforth is going to be tougher on China.""I don't think that we necessarily need to expect that a different administration would rely so heavily on tariffs," she said. "I wouldn't expect that a different administration, a Democratic administration would take quite the same approach.
One thing you can be sure of; his base will not grow. Period. Nothing will change that.
He needs the economy! It’s likely to encounter a recession soon.
Apparently Anna Ashton doesn't read the news.
No he doesn't need a deal with Beijing to be reelected. You have to be elected before you can be reelected. He wasn't elected in the first place... Let's not forget who's really running the show here folks...
This headline was bought by Trump allies. Trump will get no deal from China. China has given Trump the bird. Now Trump doesn’t need a deal....yea why? Because he won’t get one..
I don’t think even Trump agrees with that. Trump needs a deal or he will need Fed to save his xxx. Lol.
Not many want him reelected!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHHHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Trump is not going to get a deal from China. So changing talking points. Trump,lost.
Chinese deal this way with other nations for decades, this is not new or personal. Except China is now a house of cards, and full of debts. Trump only has to be concerned with the Press and the yellow journalism.
This is not about 2020 elections. Is about US tariffs on China and other countries backfiring and destroying the US economy. Farmers and businesses are more concern about saving their business from bankruptcy & job losses than 2020. The tariff fire could burn down our own house.
It's not the trade deficit. It's how to contain China modernisation.
Can you imagine the chaos from the left if he is reelected? It would be madness
Right. Record farm bankruptcies and now a high number of suicides. No farms no food.
Innovation out, isolationism in China is not the place to be.
He will just get someone to make up the numbers for him.
Yeah he will just drop the tariffs and claim a win that liar
It isn't 'somewhat of a requirement' to be tough on China.
Did I see the following individual counseling with the Beijing power structure?
Well, the economy shouldn't be the ONLY issue playing a role in voters' decisions. I don't believe it will be.
For the sake of all of usin the US, I hope the Council is wrong!
tariffs don’t matter anymore guys!!!
He needs to sit down.
Do you want to bet on that?
Really?
I doubt if any of the Trump voters follow CNBC on Twitter.
Ask the farmers going bankrupt or struggling to get thru Trump's term They aren't going to vote for him
Create a problem, fix it, try to get credit for problem
He is saving the deal for next yr. just in case the democrats gain ground on him.
If he wants to win Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, he does. Maybe even Florida. Keep on playing around with destiny Mr. President. Just keep on playing around.
does this guy know 80% of america does not trade stocks. real economy collapse soon and he will be back in marlago playing golf
Maybe not, but he still needs to do better than a 41% base.
But I would appreciate it for my stocks 😎👍
Pitiful lies
Trump fight for USA so no more like Obama who take this 1
😂😂😂 ok
He needs a miracle 😆
True, there are a lot of suckers in the US, but doubt there are enough of them to elect that game show host to a second term.
