Congressman Tim Ryan Statement on US-China Trade Talks

Washington, DC – Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13) released the following statement regarding the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China:

“As this week’s trade negotiations with China come to a close, President Trump and his Administration need a comprehensive, long-term strategy in protecting American workers and industries from China’s harmful practices. China has been cheating the United States for years, and it’s time President Trump steps up and turn his talk into action. China has a long-term economic plan, a 20-year plan, a 30-year plan, a 50-year plan, 100-year plan. We're operating in a 24-hour news cycle, and we better have a larger strategy as we start to take on this huge economic force. The men and women of my District deserve a clear path forward. The President has injected uncertainty in our nation’s economy and strained our relationships with our allies. The American people are waiting to see if this President will keep his promise of putting America first,” said Congressman Ryan.
