I Prayed have prayed
Heavenly Father, continue to give President Trump wisdom in dealing with Chinese officials on trade with the U.S.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

President Trump has had a superb 24 hours on his strongest (and America’s most important) foreign policy issue: China.

First, Trump tweeted his impatience with Chinese prevarication in ongoing trade talks. And the president pledged to impose new tariffs if progress is not made by Friday.

Then, on Monday, two U.S. Navy destroyers traveled within 12 miles of two reefs in the Spratly Islands chain of the South China Sea — reefs that China claims as its own, although illegitimately.

China’s reaction to both acts was one of fury. One state newspaper described Trump’s tweet as blackmail. The Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed that “the trespass of U.S. warships is a violation of China’s sovereignty. It undermines peace, security and good order in the relevant waters. China deplores and firmly opposes such moves.”

Trump should revel in Beijing’s anger, because his policy is right on the mark here. Chinese President Xi Jinping intends to destroy the U.S.-led international system of fair commerce under the democratic rule of law. He aims to replace it with one of intellectual theft and feudal mercantilism. China is playing games in the trade negotiations to protect that agenda. But Trump’s tariffs and other economic actions challenge Xi by jabbing at his unelected regime’s economic vulnerability.

Thank God for a president with backbone, courage, and business savvy and wisdom!
Donald Trump is anointed by God and doing an excellent job of boldly leading our country. The Lord has chosen him for “such a time as this!”

This is encouraging. I watched Dave Kubal’s video this morning on the difference between conservatives and progressives. I also listened to May’s first Friday interview about the Muslim nation. When you consider these factors along with the warring factors within our own country, our leaders must be extremely wise and the only infallible wisdom can come from God. I pray,Lord that you would put God centered and God-fearing men around President Trump — that all we would do would bring honor and glory to You and Your plans for this world. Amen
