Actually, the US can't sell that many more goods to China no matter what Trump says by lopezlinette
President Donald Trump looks on Chinese President Xi Jinping during the plenary session at the G20 Summit on July 7, 2017 in Hamburg, Germany.President Donald Trump has said over and over that he wants to narrow the trade deficit between the US and China by forcing China to buy more US goods.
From the moment he started a trade war with China, President Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants the country to purchase more American goods — a lot more. In some cases, the US would even have to change national-security protocols in order to trade goods with China that it actually wants.One of the big problems here — and there are many — is that the US and China don't have matching wish lists. The US doesn't want to sell China all the things it wants, and China does not want/need the things that the US wants to sell it .
For some goods, like electronics , the US doesn't want to sell these goods for the sake of national security or intellectual-property protection .
