Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo blamed the U.S. news media for emboldening the Chinese government to push back against President Donald Trump's ongoing trade war.
Bartiromo and former Utah Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz spoke Sunday morning about the market's potential reaction to Trump's retaliatory tariffs on Chinese imports. The two honed in on his"hereby" declaration last week that he has the power to stop private U.S. companies from trading with the second-largest world economy. Both Fox News mainstays blamed the media in different ways.
"One important fact to make is that the media has been basically taking a side and they've taken the side of the left," Bartiromo said on"That's one reason that I believe China saw the media beating up on president Trump over the last two years as everybody was in this 'collusion delusion' for two years.
Bartiromo acknowledged Trump has"broad authority" but she questioned if the president would shut out China similar to the"security threat" tactic keeping U.S. companies from dealing with Iran. "I think it's a mere suggestion at this point. I don't think it has risen to that level," Chaffetz said."People are getting caught up in this language of 'hereby' but I don't think that anybody really thinks that suddenly tomorrow they can't do business with China."
