New Select Committee on China Ranking Member Ro Khanna: “Trump Has Betrayed America’s Workers"

Washington, DC — Today, Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17) released the following statement on his first day serving as Ranking Member of House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party: 

“Every American should know that President Trump has betrayed our workers and has allowed our industrial base to be hollowed out. He’s been tougher on Canada and our allies than on China and Xi Jinping. I will be going to the heartland to speak directly with Americans who have been shafted by this administration’s reckless blanket tariffs and failed economic policies. Our country needs a bold vision to rebalance the trade deficit with China, revitalize manufacturing, and win on innovation and AI — not failed trade wars that drive up costs and hurt Americans,” said Ranking Member Khanna.
