Washington – Minnesota’s three Republicans in Congress are supporting President Donald Trump as he escalates a trade fight with China that has caused jitters among farmers, consumers, investors and companies throughout the state.
“Our trade negotiation with China is at a crossroad,” U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn, the Republican who represents southern Minnesota, said Wednesday in a statement. “China has been one of our strongest trading partners and also the most difficult. China has long cheated, manipulated their currency and stolen our intellectual property.”
