Just four days before President Donald Trump is set to attend an economic summit with China’s leader.

President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday that he refused a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the United Nations General Assembly over Canada’s refusal to negotiate their high tariffs on dairy products.

About half of U.S. business owners say President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods, as well as imported steel and aluminum, are good for business, calling them “positive” for the economy.

China expert Michael Pillsbury of the Hudson Institute, author of The Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower, joined SiriusXM host Rebecca Mansour on Thursday’s Breitbart News Tonight to defend President Donald Trump’s trade battle with China.

President Donald Trump’s strategic pivot toward tariffs marks the ascent of National Trade Council Director and former University of California Irvine professor Peter Navarro, who has warned Americans for a decade against committing “Death by China.”

“Looking forward to 3:30 P.M. meeting today at the White House,” he wrote. “We have to protect & build our Steel and Aluminum Industries while at the same time showing great flexibility and cooperation toward those that are real friends and treat us fairly on both trade and the military.”

Trump said he was concerned about foreign countries like China dumping cheap steel on the United States, hurting the country’s steel industry.

Tesla’s recent announcement that it will be building a factory in China during the Communist Party’s once-every-five-years National Congress is a sign the company has become a partner with the world’s largest economy.

A new investigation into crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells may result in increased tariffs on solar panels imported into the United States.

Media and entertainment companies stood to gain the most from passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)– so it is not surprising that the industry’s stock index lost $20 billion in the first two trading days after the UK vote for “Brexit.”

Although Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (IKIP), said after the Brexit, “The euroskeptic genie is out of the bottle and it will now not be put back… EU’s dead,” he also offered the European Parliament a “sensible tariff free deal” on Tuesday that, he said, would be good for EU residents.

Last week, Donald Trump met with the family members of Sarah Root, a beautiful, beaming 21-year-old girl slaughtered by an illegal alien in Nebraska the day after graduating from college with 4.0 GPA. Later that day, Trump warned, “Crooked Hillary Clinton wants completely open borders.”

A Texas city along the Mexican border is spending more then $1 million in tax dollars to improve the Mexican side of a Rio Grande Valley bridge. McAllen city officials want to take advantage of the traffic from the maquiladoras that export materials into the states.

Donald Trump has now made clear that the thrust of his campaign will not be conservatism. It will instead be populism and nationalism.
