Discussing the push to ban Chinese vehicles in American markets

Senator Slotkin: “It’s just banning Chinese cars from coming over our bridges and tunnels and over our Southern border.”

Senator Slotkin: “We’re just seeing the Chinese industry purposefully floods countries like Mexico, like Germany, and completely destroy the local industry.”

“And they’re not playing by our trade rules, which is the biggest problem. This is a quarter of a century of China being in the World Trade Organization and exploiting open free market capitalism to the gain of their Chinese Communist Party.”

“[Donald Trump] campaigned on saying that he was going to take on China, that he was going to be tough on China. And instead, as Senator Slotkin just mentioned, he started a trade war with Canada. We in Michigan have all paid the price for that.”
