Kemp Urges Business Owners To ‘Trust’ Trump’s Trade Strategy

Gov. Brian Kemp continues to support President Trump’s trade war with China.

He spoke in Peachtree Corners to a group of Vietnamese-American small business-owners Monday at an event sponsored by Trump’s reelection campaign. Much of the discussion revolved around contentment with the current strength of the economy, but one question asked how the tariffs flying back and forth between the U.S. and China might dampen that growth.

Kemp said he’s heard from Georgia companies that are both hurting and benefiting from the tariffs. He argued China has been “taking advantage of us” a long time and said he believes the government waited too long to “fight this battle.”
