The U.S. election is scorching, Trump's support rating in the state is far ahead, and now Biden's support for Israel is as low as 28%, and Trump is beginning to "flutter".
In an early showdown with China, even though he is not in the presidency, Trump is still eyeing China.
"Actor" Trump
If Biden has been "shooting" at China since he took office, Trump is secretly poking and prodding, and during Trump's tenure, "trade" was Trump's core issue.
Tariffs were imposed, China was suppressed, and even the Biden administration restarted the "Section 301" investigation promulgated during Trump's presidency the day before yesterday.
It can be said that although Trump is not in the presidency, there are many appearances about Trump.
What's more, Trump bluntly said that he wanted to run for president of the United States as early as 2022, and Trump, who was originally an "actor", also started a life at this time Although he did not take office in politics, he eventually had his existence.
And the reason is not anything else, Trump has publicly choked Biden more than once, one of the two belongs to the Democratic Party and the other belongs to the Republican Party, they are opponents, and they don't look down on each other.
The public reply has always been a cliché in the American media, but it is always a small fight.
Except for the fact that Trump was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on 37 counts in 2023, so he turned around and reprimanded Biden for "weaponizing" the Department of Justice, and the competition between the two is still a secret poke.
Trump publicly responds to being "sued"
However, because Biden got involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which led to opposition in the United States and chaos in people's lives, Trump accumulated a wave of fans before the vote, and Trump's poll lead over Biden has been nearly 10% in some states.
On May 9, Trump publicly rebuked Biden that if he was re-elected, there would be no war between Israel and Hamas.
Trump's move can be said to be "brushing his face" in front of the people again, and Biden has also been bluntly said by the American people because he is over 80 years old, it is better to launch Michelle to campaign.
Obviously, the current Biden cannot convince the public, but even if Trump is still far ahead in the vote, whether it is Biden or Trump, the attitude towards China is "America First" after all.
Reveal your attitude towards China
The term "America First" is no stranger to the US government, and the United States, which has always been rampant with hegemonism, wants to "be the only one," so it is accustomed to being sought after by many countries, but China's exception makes the United States jealous.
According to related reports, the Trump team recently released a new book "America First National Security Strategy".
Among the excerpts from the remarks of many former senior Trump officials, it is clear and blunt that if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, the primary foreign policy priority of the United States will be China, not the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In the view of the Trump team, despite the seriousness of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the biggest threat to the United States is still China.
The outspokenness of the Trump team, even if Trump has not stated it publicly, can be understood through this.
At this juncture, Trump's actions are obvious, even if Biden is still in office today, Trump's mind on China is like his former US president, who wants to "decouple and break the chain with China".
Trump's "straightforwardness" has quietly been at work, and if Biden's support votes continue to fall, this so-called "guide" for promoting US national security issued by Trump's team may actually be implemented one by one against China.
After all, whether it was trade suppression or the so-called "China Action Plan", Trump was menacing.
In addition, the "authors" involved in the book even suggest that the United States must devote its main strategic resources to dealing with China, and even emphasize that the United States should make full use of political, economic, and military power to contain the so-called "China threat."
He used this as an example of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, believing that compared with the "threat" brought by China, the war in Ukraine is only a secondary issue.
In short, "suppressing" China is the main theme of the book.
In addition, naming the US investment over the past few years is tantamount to strengthening China's comprehensive development capability in disguise, and in order to achieve "decoupling", it has even named China to restrict investment in China's fields such as education, trade, and science and technology.
It is not difficult to see that the book released by Trump's team confirms that if Trump is re-elected, then the China policy will not only continue his previous tough attitude towards China, but also will have more changes in order to "suppress" China.
However, judging from the current situation, U.S. trade is a headache for the U.S. government, and what Trump is best at is to take "trade" as the core issue and take action against China.
Despite the fact that Trump and Biden are in competition and belong to two parties, US trade is a topic that the US cannot escape, and even at the expense of allies in the trade war to ensure "America First", it is still difficult for the US trade market to show signs of recovery.
The "Washington Post" even bluntly stated that the United States was one of the founders of the WTO, but in recent years it has become the main culprit in the decline of the WTO.
The "America First" policy that the United States has always adhered to has pushed inflation to a peak not seen in 40 years, and many countries have been miserable.
Even if Trump finally takes office as president of the United States, he wants to continue to play the "trade" card against China, I am afraid that there is no chance of winning.
