This is very unfair, and American taxpayers will not tolerate it! As I have said before, my administration will not allow these discriminatory actions to go unpunished
He clarified that he would be forced to initiate a trade investigation procedure under Section 301 to "nullify the unfair fines imposed on these American tax-paying companies."
