Flags for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign are being produced in China, one of the flag manufacturers said in an interview on NPR, despite a looming trade war.
Li went on to say that making flags for Trump’s 2020 bid “is completely normal.”
“It is completely normal. And that is trade. We buy stuff from America, and America is buying… stuff from China. For example, my car is from America,” Li said, via the interpreter.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
On Friday, the US and China are expected to hit each other with tariffs on $34 billion of each other’s exports.
The US tariffs on China will target more than 800 items, including industrial machinery, medical devices and auto parts.
