China has
consistently taken advantage of America's economy
For many years,
China has used unfair trade and industrial practices—including
"dumping," discriminatory barriers, forced technology
transfer, over capacity, and industrial subsidies—that
champion Chinese firms and make it impossible for many U.S.
firms to compete on a level playing field.
The costs of
these policies to American industry keep piling up:
•
China's
intellectual property theft costs U.S. innovators billions of
dollars each year
•
China
accounts for 87 percent of the counterfeit goods seized coming
into America
•
Beijing
has banned imports of U.S. agricultural products such as
poultry, cutting off America's ranchers and farmers
•
The United States
charges a 2.5 percent tariff on Chinese cars, while China
maintains a 25 percent tariff on cars from America
President Trump
has taken long overdue action to address the source of
the problem. Part of the solution includes imposing a 25
percent tariff on $50 billion of goods imported from China that
contain industrially significant technology, including those
related to the "Made in China 2025" program. The
Administration is also implementing specific investment
restrictions and enhanced export controls.

"From now on, we expect trading relationships to be fair
and to be reciprocal."

Welcome home, Josh Holt!
Over Memorial
Day weekend, President Trump greeted another released American.
Late Saturday, the President welcomed Josh Holt to the Oval
Office following Holt's return from a Venezuelan prison.
With Holt home,
17 Americans held abroad have been released during the Trump
Administration. "The United States thanks the
Maduro regime for releasing the unjustly detained United States
citizen, Joshua Holt, and his Venezuelan wife," Press
Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. His return "does
not change United States policy" toward Venezuela.

President Trump welcome Josh Holt home in the Oval Office.

President's full remarks
Federal
employment must be earned, not given
Firing bad
Federal employees is prohibitively difficult. It takes
6 months to a year to remove a tenured Federal employee for
poor performance—plus an average of 8 more months to resolve
appeals. Such employees are 44 times less likely to
get fired or laid off than private-sector workers.
Through an
Executive Order, President Trump is making changes to
strengthen the merit system and streamline the removal of poor
performers. As part of the new policy, agencies will be
required to report information on the disciplinary actions and
management of poor performers to the Office of Personnel
Management for publication.
