BS

Just move to China Trump hates American Businesses anyway

What is confusing? China has been making economic gains for the past 30 years by stealing our intellectual property and devaluation of currency. Our workers continue to be undermined by cheap labor and exporting our jobs. Globalists will reap fortunes at our peril. America first.

Moving to China will make more money

Iowa corn can not expect to feed half of China on great trade deals that only China and Iowa love...🇺🇸KAG🇺🇸

Well well ..... this smells of dictatorship...... what happened to free markets.....

If these businesses aren't getting the message, they are plain stupid!! Look for other markets! Why do you want to help China to destroy America

He’s pathetic!

It is simple. The days of chasing the cheapest labor in the world are dying. Instead, work to source domestically for the markets in which you sell. Charge prices accordingly.

Lead follow or get out of the way in your case get out of the way

It means farmers are going to need more tractors we're selling the corn to Japan

It means a recession.

I guess they should move their production back to America. If not they should expect to be tortured for as long as he is in office.

They should just ignore what trump says. That’s what all the people who work for him do.

美国选举还有一年,如果选民纠正以前的错误。这些企业是不是又要根着转向?来回折腾。

As a successful business owner in the great state of MN...I’m less worried about how tariffs from China will effect my business and more terrified of Ilhan Omar being re-elected!! getomarout!!

liar blimp trump is a very weak potus,,which we all have observed over the last 3 weeks,,but he hes reversed his stance on everything,first he is for it then he is against it/. showing our allies that trump thinks he is a king/. to rule over all nations/.

I bet not. I bet WSJ is just trying to dream up crap.

It just means Trump is trying to distract people for some other dumb thing he has contemplated or done. Impeach the jerk and let's see what all he has really been doing.

Thank you for featuring my story about how these Tariffs are hurting my business, family and employees.

It means America and Americans first. Stop thinking of their own pocket. What can you do with $30 Bn that you cannot do with $15 Bn?

The message is simple - Get out of the land of our ENEMY, China

Businesses need to stand up on their hind legs and reject Trump's messages.

Run Forest, run!

CEO’s just need to ignore this nut. He will forget he even said it by Tuesday.

We, the PEOPLE, are confused by our President’s statements.

Confusion and concern have been a daily occurrence since Trump swore his oath of office.

Trump has led us to dithering heights. Erratic markets. Just like his signature. It's a good time for market bears. And, Russian bears.

I display confusion and concern when cohesive globalists flood the US and Europe with third world immigrants.

CHINA ENDS FENTANYL OR CHINESE IMPORTS ARE DONE China stops the MASS GENOCIDE & other stuff or CHINA DONE GTFO OF CHINA! Pretty simple

Chinese the same just like the two leader descided to go on a nuke war, and all those people feels fuck up

What is to understand in it, the way they took US industries to China, it is time to bring it back is the message of Trumpy.

Trump Aides Say He Isn’t Ordering U.S. Companies Out of ChinaPresident Trump didn’t order U.S. companies to leave China and has no plans to invoke emergency powers to force them to relocate their operations, top administration officials said on Sunday, after a tumultuous week for trade negotiations. Despite the wording, I think he was just giving them a heads up more tariffs are coming, it's not going to be cost effective anymore doing business in China. Another day and Trump sycophants spewing the old ‘what Donald said isn’t what Donald said’, ploy. It was a written statement-written and published by the President of the United States. You can't wish it away.
