Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for directing the Commerce Department to assist a Chinese telecommunications company.
“How about helping some American companies first?” Schumer tweeted in response to Trump’s earlier tweet on the matter.
Trump earlier in the day said he’s working with Chinese President Xi Jingping to get Chinese company ZTE “a way to get back into business, fast.”
“Too many jobs in China lost,” Trump tweeted.
Trump’s willingness to aid ZTE comes after the two nations have spent parts of recent months trading tariff threats.
