Schumer rips Trump over ZTE negotiations
By Jordain Carney - 05/22/18 01:00 PM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday tore into President Trump over reports that the president is nearing a deal to lift a ban on American companies selling components to Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE.

Schumer, during a Senate floor speech, warned that agreeing to the deal would be a "slap on the wrist" for China and a "great defeat" for Trump.

"The art of the deal it should be President Xi who writes the book because he's taken us to the cleaners on ZTE," Schumer said.

"The deal President Trump seems to be making is exactly the kind of deal that Donald Trump, before he was President Trump, would call weak or the worst deal ever," he added.
