webfact Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 White House's Navarro 'never heard' Trump ask China's Xi for help winning election FILE PHOTO: White House trade adviser Peter Navarro listens to a news conference about a presidential executive order relating to military veterans outside of the West Wing of the White House in Washington, U.S. March 4, 2019. REUTERS/Leah Millis WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Sunday said he was in the room with President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping when they met, but never heard the U.S. president ask for China's help in winning re-election. Navarro told CNN's "State of the Union" that the explosive allegation made in a book by former national security adviser John Bolton was "just silly" given how tough Trump had been on China and its unfair trade practices. "I never heard that. I was in the room," Navarro said, echoing remarks by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer last week. Bolton should face consequences - including potentially time in prison - for using "highly classified information" throughout the book, Navarro said. Navarro, a fierce China hawk, also revived a longstanding dispute over the origin of the novel coronavirus virus that has inflamed tensions between the United States and China in recent months, even after the world's two largest economies signed a Phase 1 trade deal in January. He said the virus was "a product of the Chinese Communist Party" and it remained "an open question" if it was purposefully created. "That virus came out of China," he said. The Chinese Communist Party is responsible for it. They spawned the virus in China, they hid it for two months, and they killed over 100,000 Americans." China firmly rejects any allegation that it deliberately unleashed the virus. Last week, Trump renewed his threat to cut ties with China, tweeting that "a complete decoupling from China" remained a policy option for the United States.

Popular Post kamahele Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 None of them heard him say it. The information came from the US employed translator. He did say it but Navarro is playing word games. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Henry Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Trump has said (and would not lie) that the book is nothing but lies and miss truths. Therefore it would not make sense to charge Bolton with any breach of National security when he has only told lies and miss truths.He has to have given up actual confidential and security related matters to be charged. So what is Trump trying to say anyone telling lies or miss truths should be charged and jailed, if so he would be at the top of the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
