The Spin

Trump secured a major breakthrough with China by cutting tariffs to 47% while getting Beijing to resume soybean purchases, maintain rare earth exports and crack down on fentanyl trafficking. The nearly two-hour meeting with Xi marked a successful finale to an Asia trip that delivered trade wins across the region, pushing global markets to record highs on hopes of ending the damaging trade war.

Trading away America's technological edge for raw materials represents a catastrophic national security failure that puts political headlines above the country's safety. Approving advanced AI chip sales to China risks handing Beijing the tools to build superior weapons systems, while past deals show a pattern of transactions that benefit Trump personally at America's expense.
