\"Just the last month, it\u2019s been an incredible month of progress. And while the Congress is spending their time on other matters, you saw President Trump sign phase one of a new trade deal with China that for the first time includes the beginning of protections of intellectual property and will increase manufacturing exports by $50 billion in the next two years. (Applause.) It\u2019s a beginning.<\/p>\n
China has already begun lifting tariffs on American products. They\u2019ve pledged to end currency manipulation. President Trump has made it clear \u2014 he\u2019s made it clear to President Xi and had me make it clear to President Xi and all the leadership of China that while our hearts go out to them as they struggle now with the coronavirus, America is going to continue to stand strong for American jobs and American workers. We\u2019re going to continue to negotiate, to level the playing field for American enterprise with China. The era of economic surrender is over. (Applause.)\"<\/p>", "quote": null, "citation": "
