WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said defaulting on debt is a “rough game,” amid calls from some Republicans that the United States should refuse to pay its debt obligations to China as a retaliatory measure for its mishandling of the CCP virus outbreak.
On April 30, during the event “Protecting America’s Seniors” at the White House, Trump suggested that his administration could impose new tariffs on Chinese goods as a way to compensate for losses the United States has incurred due to the pandemic.
