President Donald Trump, if reelected, will continue to take tough actions to counter threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said.

No president has ever stood up to the Chinese regime like Trump, Navarro said, citing a range of measures such as U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, restrictions on Chinese tech giant Huawei, as well as sanctions to penalize Beijing’s erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong and military aggression in the South China Sea.
