Trump returns to Washington with target on China, amid Charlottesville turmoil
August 14, 2017

President Trump returns to Washington Monday in the middle of a 17-day vacation to increase pressure on China over its trade policies, as he faces continued bipartisan calls to speak out more forcefully against the hate groups involved in deadly weekend clashes in Charlottesville.

The president tweeted about his to-do list Monday morning.

“Much work to do. Focus on trade and military,” he said, before issuing a more specific warning on trade:

“The Obstructionist Democrats have given us (or not fixed) some of the worst trade deals in World History. I am changing that fast!”

The president on Monday afternoon is planning to sign an executive order asking his trade office to consider a trade investigation of China for the alleged theft of American technology and intellectual property.

The push comes as Trump seeks Beijing's help on North Korea.
