McConnell Notes GOP Need For Trade Deal With China

Commenting during an interview with CNBC Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said “rural America really needs” a China trade deal soon.

McConnell noted the trade war with China has been tough on American farmers. “As you know, my party is very deeply based in rural America and small-town America,” McConnell said. “So, I hope the president can get a good outcome here.” McConnell said he appreciates what Trump is trying to do, but said things need to get wrapped up soon.

“I admire what he is trying to do, but I hope we can get a conclusion to this soon because rural America really needs it.” McConnell said.
