In his widely anticipated announcement on Nov. 15 of his entry into the 2024 presidential race, former President Donald Trump described an economic rivalry between the United States and China that has steadily intensified before, during, and after his victory in the 2016, and argued that his policies are the only ones that can keep America competitive and prevent the Chinese regime from taking over as the world’s leading power.
“Remember, economic security is national security. And that’s what it is we need economic security. That is why we will launch an all-out campaign to eliminate America’s dependence on China, we will bring our supply chains, which are a disaster right now,” Trump told a crowd at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
