Washington: American Republican front-runner Donald Trump compared the US trade deficit with China, which he regularly laments and vows to tackle as president to rape.
It’s the first time that Trump has used the word “rape” in his campaign on Sunday, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Trump said, “we can’t continue to allow China to rape our country, and that’s what they’re doing,”
Trump has repeatedly accused China of manipulating its currency to make its exports more competitive on the global market and has claimed that China is “Killing” the US trade.
“We’re going to turn it around. And we have the cards, don’t forget it. We’re like the piggy bank that’s being robbed. We have the cards. We have a lot of power with China,” Trump said before referring to China’s relationship with the US as rape.
