Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Calling Out Trump For Failing To Protect American Interests At China Summit

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke on the Senate floor calling out Donald Trump for failing to secure anything meaningful from his summit with China, instead selling out American families, workers, farmers, and manufacturers. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Donald Trump returns from his trip to China with virtually nothing - nothing - to show for it. Other than some photo ops - he seems to like photo ops more than making the world a better place.

In exchange for a photo op with Xi Jinping, Donald Trump cast doubt on America's commitment to supporting Taiwan, failed to secure any meaningful Chinese actions to stem the flow of fentanyl into America, allowed the Chinese [Communist] Party to continue owning American farmland, neglected to safeguard America's lead in the AI and semiconductor race, and did nothing nothing to protect U.S. manufacturers from competitors in China.

The American people don't care about Donald Trump's latest red-carpet photo op with foreign dignitaries - they care whether he fights to defend their interests from the Chinese Communist Party.

And as always, Donald Trump - with his son and business manager in tow - put his own interests and ego first in Beijing to the detriment of American workers, American farmers, American families, and American manufacturers. What a disgrace.
