Executive Summary
Congressman Ro Khanna critiques the Trump administration's foreign and economic policies, arguing they have weakened the U.S.
position relative to China.
He advocates for ending the costly military conflict with Iran through diplomacy, highlighting its negative impact on domestic prices for gas, diesel, and fertilizer.
Khanna outlines a strategy of 'economic patriotism' to rebuild American manufacturing through targeted investments, new trade schools, and a smarter trade agenda.
In upcoming U.S.-China talks, Khanna urges a focus on concrete deals for soybean purchases, lifting fertilizer export controls, and addressing unfair trade practices to benefit American farmers and workers.
