None of the leading Democratic presidential candidates have committed to immediately drop President Donald Trump’s tariffs on China if they win the election, as the ongoing trade dispute shows no signs of being resolved any time soon.
Trump on July 26 suggested that the Chinese regime may not sign a deal before November 2020 in hopes that a Democrat who will be easier to deal with will win.
