WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement urging President Trump to keep up the economic pressure on China.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I applaud President Trump for taking strong action to hold China accountable. China has shown it can’t be trusted. Right now, they are violating human rights and breaking their agreement to give Hong Kong autonomy and freedom. Now more than ever, the President must be aggressive and stay strong against China. We have to continue putting economic pressure on China, while doing everything we can to support U.S. taxpayers and job creators.”
