Presidential candidate Chris Christie derided former President Donald Trump’s ability to handle China as a national security threat and economic competitor to the United States, saying the former president would handle China “with salutes and love letters.”
The former New Jersey governor recalled Trump’s diplomacy with North Korea and its president Kim Jong Un in 2018 and claimed Trump would be too weak on China.
“You can count on Trump to handle China just like he handled North Korea. With salutes and love letters,” Christie tweeted Sunday along with a photo of Trump saluting a North Korean general, a moment in 2018 that drew backlash from the former president’s opponents.
