Stevens Statement on Phase One Trade Agreement with China

WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) released the following statement after the United States and China signed a partial “Phase One” trade agreement.

"We cannot afford an ongoing all-out trade war with China,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “It is essential for us to level the playing field for our manufacturers and workforce. Today's Phase One trade agreement allows us to reset the relationship with China and provides pathways for American competitiveness and success.”

“Before celebrating, we need to see this agreement enforced and followed up with a more substantive Phase Two to prevent the furtherance of harmful practices that damage our workforce and economy,” Congresswoman Stevens added.
