President Trump attacked Democratic presidential front runner Joe Biden on Sunday, saying that if the former vice president wins in 2020 he will let China ‘rip off America.’
‘China is DREAMING that Sleepy Joe Biden, or any of the others, gets elected in 2020,’ Trump tweeted on Sunday.
‘They LOVE ripping off America!’
Trump was commenting on the ongoing trade negotiations with Beijing, which are ongoing despite the imposition of tariffs by the administration.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump tweeted: 'We are right where we want to be with China.

Earlier on Sunday, Trump tweeted: 'We are right where we want to be with China.'
Trump tweeted on Sunday: 'We will then spend (match or better) the money that China may no longer be spending with our Great Patriot Farmers (Agriculture), which is a small percentage of total Tariffs received, and distribute the food to starving people in nations around the world! GREAT!'
'Remember, they broke the deal with us & tried to renegotiate.
'We will be taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China.
'Buyers of product can make it themselves in the USA (ideal), or buy it from non-Tariffed countries...
'We will then spend (match or better) the money that China may no longer be spending with our Great Patriot Farmers (Agriculture), which is a small percentage of total Tariffs received, and distribute the food to starving people in nations around the world! GREAT!'
Trump's comments came after economic advisor Larry Kudlow earlier Sunday conceded that China is not the one paying the tariffs.
'Fair enough. In fact, both sides will pay. Both sides will pay in these things,' Kudlow told Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.
Trump had accused Beijing of reneging on its commitments in trade talks and ordered new punitive duties, which took effect Friday, on $200billion worth of Chinese imports, raising them to 25 per cent from 10 per cent.
He then ordered a tariff hike on almost all remaining imports from China, which are worth about $300billion, according to US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
'The Chinese will suffer GDP losses and so forth with respect to a diminishing export market and goods that they may need,' Kudlow said, before agreeing with Wallace that even though China may suffer consequences, US businesses and consumers are the ones who will pay the tariffs.

'Yes, to some extent. Yes, I don't disagree with that. Again, both sides will suffer on this,'
