China Most Favored Nation Status & De Minimis Import Exemption = Low Hanging Fruit for Dems or GOP

[West Dundee Hawkeye]

Two low hanging easy campaign ideas for either the Dems or GOP is to end China having the Most Favored Nation Status and end the De Minimis import tariff exemption from China.

I just saw a bipartisan Bill in Senate on De Minimis was proposed. This is so fricking obvious.

I've always wondered why we didn't use this for more leverage against them. Probably because they will force everyone to pay their debt to China if we tried that or something.
