Canadian businessman and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary said President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are “playing a game of chicken” and reiterated his proposal for Trump to hit China<\/a> with a 400 percent tariff.<\/p>\n O’Leary joined NewsNation’s “The Hill<\/a>” to discuss Trump’s escalating war of words<\/a> with the Federal Reserve<\/a> and China regarding tariffs and trade<\/a> as well as his views on the U.S. economy’s<\/a> prospects.<\/p>\n “This China stuff is getting crazy, but I like the fact that [Trump is] squeezing this deal … we’ve got to resolve it’s not about trade anymore with China,” O’Leary explained.<\/p>\n “It’s IP rights. It’s access to their markets,” he continued. “It’s Chinese companies trading money on the American markets. China is so different than the rest of the trade stuff.”<\/p>\n O’Leary doubled down on his belief that a 400 percent tariff on Chinese goods<\/a> coming into the U.S. should be implemented by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n “You know you got to be bombastic about this stuff,” O’Leary said. “Xi and Trump … it’s a game of chicken. Two cars coming at each other. You’re gonna have to resolve it.”<\/p>\n O’Leary also defended the mission behind Trump’s latest sweeping tariffs<\/a> and resolve to strengthen the American economy<\/a> further.<\/p>\n “Let’s remind everybody that 62 percent of jobs in America are created by small companies, five to 500 employees,” he said. <\/p>\n “That is the essence of the American economy,” the investor added. “They are the economy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Canadian businessman and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary said President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are “playing a game of chicken” and reiterated his proposal for Trump to hit<\/p>\n
