Larry Kudlow on Bloomberg
- Trump is the first President to challenge China
- China is stealing our technology
- Negotiations have not really begun yet
- China's response has been unsatisfactory
- We haven't proposed anything, we're considering it
- There is no timetable for negotiations
- The President didn't want to hurt the economy
- We're going to have 'several months' of consultation before more tariffs
- We're taking a moderate, tempered approach. This is not a trade war
- All we're trying to do is save American technology
- I think Lighthizer and Trump are considering a list of changes China could use remedy the situation, mostly on technology
- China needs to open their markets
- In recent years, China has moved backwards on economic openness
- Today's stock drop "ain't much"
That was a great interview but the problem is that I don't believe Kudlow really speaks for Trump or for the White House.
