On Monday afternoon, Trump has plans to sign an
executive order requesting his trade office to give consideration to a trade
investigation of China for the theft of American technology, as well as
intellectual property.
This push will come as the president seeks Beijing's
assistance on North Korea. Within a move which would ease tensions, Monday,
China issued an order that would carry out the U.N. sanctions imposed upon the
rogue regime.
The U.S. president and the regime of NK’s Kim Jong Un
have been trading increasing warnings over the last week, although White House
and additional officials in the administration since have sought to offer
reassurances that conflict isn’t imminent.
However, Trump is faced with one other controversy at
home, amidst bipartisan concerns he didn’t speak out forcefully enough or
specifically enough against the white supremacist and additional hate groups
included in clashes which left one person dead upon Saturday within Virginia.
Jeff Sessions, who spoke on NBC’s “Today” show, stated
"too much has been read into" the president’s comment Saturday.
Sessions stated Trump "explicitly condemned"
violence, as well as that ‘he completely opposes’ those values espoused by such
organizations. The president referenced violence ‘upon many sides.’
Mr. Sessions expects the president to talk further, and
say, ‘I think you will hear that again today.’ Sessions added that the White
House expressly had condemned white supremacy-driven violence within a
statement on Sunday.
On Sunday, a new statement from the White House
strongly denounced the KKK and neo-Nazi groups; however, it had been attributed
to an unnamed individual and not Trump.
Trump, during his visit in Washington, has plans to
meet with John Kelly prior to heading later within the day to Trump Tower.
Until today, Trump spent his vacation in his golf club in New Jersey.
In the meantime, Trump weighed in again on Monday on
the Alabama Senate GOP primary established for Tuesday, and reiterated his
support for Senator L. Strange.
