Rep. Meuser to Newsmax: US Has ‘Upper Hand’ in China Negotiations

Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Penn., told Newsmax the United States, being a major consumer of Chinese goods, has the “upper hand” in negotiations.

Speaking to “American Agenda” after what appears to be a round of trade talks Wednesday between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Meuser suggested the U.S. will come out on top.

“Xi Jinping clearly is a hard negotiator. The president has stated that. But the president’s better,” Meuser stated. “We are the customer. They’re the vendor. Usually, the customer has the upper hand on the vendor.”
