Trump administration trade adviser Peter Navarro will be participating in discussions with a Chinese trade delegation in Washington this week.
It had been reported on Wednesday that Navarro had been sidelined and would not take part in talks with Chinese economic adviser Liu He on Thursday.
Jennifer Jacobs scooped the development for Bloomberg, citing two administration offiials:
“Navarro, 68, who once published a book titled Death by China and has long been hostile to the country, has lately behaved erratically and unprofessionally, the officials said. His exclusion from the meeting marks another downturn in his White House career, where he was long isolated by other senior officials before the president promoted him earlier this year to his top rank of aides.”
US President Donald Trump asked his Twitter followers to “stay tuned” for news on the trade talks, after a suggestion via tweet that he would try to ease penalties slapped on Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE. Backing off the ban on sales of components to ZTE was reportedly a prerequisite stipulated by the Chinese for trade talks even to begin.
Navarro’s reported sidelining – now in question – followed accounts that fellow trade hawk Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was seen as losing sway. Politico wrote this week that Ross had also been largely sidelined in the trade negotiations, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
“Ross – whom Trump once affectionately called a ‘killer,’ a high compliment in the president’s lexicon – has steadily become a bit player, with the president regularly leaning on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro.”
Someone should write a book " Death by America. " This is a fact and supported by history. Since the massacre of native Indian wars, America has been exporting death to its own people and foreigners performing bio-weapons experiments on its own people, exposing the Marshall Islanders to nuclear radiation from atomic and hydrogen bombs, bombing, invading, and instigating wars on foreign countries, regime changes, coup d’ta , supplying weapons to extremists and dictators, etc,etc,etc. all the while mouthing platitudes about its own morality and greatness. It is sick.
It is all in the literature. Read it for yourself.
The Administration and Congress are full of this kind of old racists. The US would never "lead" the World with these old farts!
Ross is too old. Navarro is too ignorant and always use beligerence to to hide his ignorance. The Trump team is a shipwreck by itself.
Capitalism lives through death and destruction.
If really Peter Navarro and Wilbur Ross were left out the trade talk confrontation with the Chinese communist, really Trump has surrendered to communist Chinese. AMERICA is no more a GREAT AMERICA as Trump’s slogan when he run for US President in 2016. And AMERICANS will die in the hands of the communist Chinese.
Sooner or later, Trump will also slip into Xi Jinping’s noose like a crocodile. Gloomily sad, AMERICA and AMERICAN people does not longer has a good quality people for resuing America !!!
If really Donald Trump drove Peter Navarro and Wilbur Ross out of the trade talk confrontation with the communist Chinese, Trump Has dropped off the 5G program of China was a great loser.
Communist Chinese (Xi Jinping) looks at Donald Trump as a tiger that Xijinping wants to kill.
Want to kill the tiger, the precondition is to seduce the tiger out of the forest. Once the tiger was out of the forest, the tiger is no longer have any safe haven, the hunter (Xi jinping) will kill the tiger (Trump) easily.
Peter Navarro and Wilbur Ross are the very Trump’s protectors, so that Trump can fulfill his dream of a GREAT AMERICA. But very regret Trump doesn’t know… Chinese like a Venomous Snake with hundred of heads and tongues she can kill the rival any way she wants to

You are still referring to China the Communist China? That explains all your logic… Get a grip of reality. If China is down, so is Vietnam the following week… if not the next day. After more than one hundred years of colonialism and war, you still haven’t learned anything about geopolitics, i guess. And you probably still think in your tribal way…
Spot on????
