President Trump’s China Trade Summit Delivers Historic Wins for Delaware & American Workers

May 15, 2026

Gene Truono, Chairman, Delaware Republican Party


President Donald J. Trump’s two-day trade summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping has been a resounding success. Through strong America First leadership and tough negotiations, President Trump secured major commitments expected to drive hundreds of billions of dollars in new U.S. economic activity—boosting jobs, manufacturing, agriculture, and technology.


High-Level Delegation Joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, and top CEOs including Elon Musk (Tesla), Tim Cook (Apple), Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), plus leaders from agriculture, aviation, energy, and AI.



Key Wins


  • Expanded U.S. exports in soybeans, Boeing aircraft, energy, AI chips, and reciprocal market access.

  • Progress on trade balance, fentanyl reduction, and restoring U.S. global strength.


Of course, While President Trump delivered real results, the Democrat media complex responded with dishonest, defeatist coverage, downplaying wins and attacking America & Delaware First priorities



Their reaction should fire up every Delaware conservative to speak boldly for American Values: strong borders, fair trade, economic freedom, and putting our workers and families first, values Democrats despise and undermine daily.



RNC Statement 



“President Trump once again proved that strong leadership and tough negotiations deliver results for the American people,” said RNC Chairman Joe Gruters. “After years of Democrats surrendering leverage to China, President Trump brought Beijing to the table and secured major commitments that could drive hundreds of billions of dollars in new economic activity. President Trump is putting American workers, manufacturers, and farmers first while restoring our country’s strength on the world stage.”



Delaware Conservatives: This Is Our Moment to Stand Up and Act Local politics matter as much as—or more than—national ones. We cannot accept defeat in the 2026 midterms. One-party Democrat rule is destroying Delaware. A Democrat supermajority will only accelerate:


  • The exodus of incorporated companies (“DEXIT”).

  • Crushing regulations and higher taxes on small businesses.

  • A failing education system that shortchanges our kids.

  • Foreclosures on seniors:  Delaware has the highest senior foreclosure rate in the nation.
