                          TRUMP RECOVERS JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, for too long American 
workers have shouldered the burden of trade policies that reward the 
Chinese Communist Party billionaires, destroying American jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, 3.8 million American jobs were lost to China from 2001 
through early 2023, including 60,000 jobs in South Carolina.
  Reliance on the Chinese Communist Party jeopardizes American national 
security.
  Overall, China is the largest source for the manufacture of cell 
phones, toys, computers, and other products. President Donald Trump has 
long recognized this problem. Last week, one-on-one discussions between 
America and China produced agreements to dramatically reduce tariffs, 
while establishing a path forward to manage the China challenge.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American 
families with peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin's 
lies, violating NATO airspace and insulting Trump last Tuesday with a 
Russian jet over the Gulf of Finland escorting a shadow ship, 
threatening Estonia, our NATO ally.
