GhostBox Posted June 15 Posted June 15 So this was the trump admin and then the Biden admin put an end to it once in charge 🫡👏🏼
Communion Posted June 15 Posted June 15 It's a shame that the Biden admin has gone from recognizing China as a necessary ally during COVID to now playing into Trumpian tactics like the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs. 1
