Statement from Chairman August Pfluger on President Trump's New Trade Announcement with China

WASHINGTON D.C. –  Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman August Pfluger released the following statement following the Trump administration's new trade announcement: 

"President Trump's groundbreaking agreement with China demonstrates he is truly the master of the art of the deal. This deal establishes a fair baseline while discussions between Secretary Bessent, Ambassador Greer, and Chinese officials continue with the goal of rebalancing our $295.4 billion trade deficit.

While this represents progress, China's track record demands our vigilance. Any trade deal must be enforceable to ensure China doesn't return to its pattern of broken promises and economic exploitation. American strength—not concession—is the only language China understands.

President Trump has proven he can bring our competitors to the table and that he will fight for the American worker."
