Kongressledamot Ro Khanna efterlyser starkare amerikanska påtryckningsmedel i Trumps Kina-samtal

Kongressledamoten Ro Khanna uppmanade president Trump att säkra konkreta framsteg under sitt nuvarande besök i Kina, inklusive återupptagna inköp av sojabönor och tillgång till kritiska mineraler.

I ett uttalande till NPR redogjorde Kalifornien-demokraten och den högst rankade ledamoten i representanthusets särskilda kommitté för strategisk konkurrens mellan USA och Kina för flera prioriteringar inför samtalen med den kinesiske ledaren Xi Jinping. Han sade att presidenten måste insistera på att Kina återupptar köpen av amerikanska sojabönor, vilket landet i stort sett har upphört med till förmån för leveranser från Brasilien och Argentina, för att minska handelsunderskottet och stödja amerikanska jordbrukare som står inför höga gödselkostnader kopplade till kriget i Iran.
