China has bought just over half the U.S. goods and services it agreed to purchase under phase one of the landmark trade deal negotiated by President Donald Trump, and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wants to know what President Joe Biden is doing about it.
“As part of the Phase 1 trade agreement with the U.S., Communist China agreed to a target purchase of $378 billion worth of manufactured, agricultural and energy goods. Since October 2021, it has only purchased $210.4 billion—just 56 percent of its committed purchases,” Scott told U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai in a Dec. 20 letter.
