Donald Trump seems to turn on China after day of praising country

Donald Trump has again promised to put “America first”, denouncing multinational trade agreements and appearing to rebuke China – a day after he had praised the country. “From this day forward we will compete on a fair and equal basis,” Mr Trump told a gathering of company executives on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Vietnam. While the US did lose about 5.6m manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2010, 85 per cent of these jobs losses are attributable to technological change – largely automation – rather than international trade, according to a study by the Centre for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University.
