United States President Donald Trump accused China on Tuesday of trying to impact the elections by "attacking" American farmers and industrial workers, threatening with "fast economic retaliation" for the alleged Chinese activities. According to Trump, China has "openly stated" that it's been taking actions he's accusing them of, though he did not mention who or when made such a statement.
The president wrote on Twitter: "China has openly stated that they are actively trying to impact and change our election by attacking our farmers, ranchers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me. What China does not understand is that these people are great patriots and fully understand that China has been taking advantage of the United States on Trade for many years. They also know that I am the one that knows how to stop it. There will be great and fast economic retaliation against China if our farmers, ranchers and/or industrial workers are targeted!"
