Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden blasted the “phase one” trade deal with China that President Donald Trump is signing Wednesday as a loss for the U.S. that fails to make headway on the central issues of the trade dispute.
“China is the big winner of Trump’s ‘phase-one’ trade deal with Beijing,” the former vice president said in a statement to Bloomberg News. “True to form, Trump is getting precious little in return for the significant pain and uncertainty he has imposed on our economy, farmers, and workers.”
