While President Trump has pressed ahead in recent weeks on his effort to correct the damage that has been done by decades of outsourcing our manufacturing to China, one group has stood out as a thorn in his side. The big retail industry has vigorously opposed Trump’s efforts to use tariffs to negotiate a better trade balance with China and have proactively blamed the President for future price increases that consumers could face because of the tariffs.

For years, China has used its vast market power not just as an economic tool but as a strategic weapon — targeting American companies across multiple industries to pressure the United States into making policy concessions. From technology and agriculture to aerospace, Beijing’s approach is clear: punish U.S. businesses to advance its geopolitical goals.

President Trump’s first hundred days have provided a slew of accomplishments for conservatives. One of the President’s highest priorities during his new term has been to restore American national and economic security by addressing how large and persistent trade deficits have impacted domestic manufacturing, disrupted supply chains, and made us more reliant on foreign adversaries like China.  

The Protecting America Initiative (PAI), a coalition of concerned Americans and public policy experts dedicated to combating the growing influence of Communist China in the United States, today announced a new ad campaign that urges congressional lawmakers to support U.S. agricultural manufacturers and defend our food supply against China’s growing influence.

Last week, President Trump enacted reciprocal tariffs of up to 50% on roughly 90 countries around the world in a bold move to restructure international trade to reduce the United States’ trade deficit and to recapture industries that had been lured away by unfair trade practices. One week later, the president announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs as countries began coming to the negotiating table to address his concerns. One notable exception to the pause on reciprocal tariffs? China.

Model Policy Focuses on Strengthening Border Security, Food Security, Energy Dominance, National Security Technology, Fair Trade, and American Manufacturing.

At a time when China is engaged in an active campaign to sabotage America with the goal of nothing less than world dominance, a strong economic and national security alliance between the U.S. and India has never been more important.

The Protecting America Initiative, a coalition of concerned citizens and policy experts dedicated to combating Communist China’s growing influence in the U.S., today launched a new TV ad campaign urging Iowa Republicans in the state House of Representatives to stop the CCP from controlling U.S. agriculture.

On Thursday, March 27, the U.S. House passed H.R. 1048, the DETERRENT Act, with bipartisan support. The final vote was 241-169. This legislation takes important steps to increase transparency when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence within America’s colleges and universities. The Protecting America Initiative applauds the House of Representatives for addressing this important issue and urges Senate passage of H.R. 1048.  

The Protecting America Initiative, a coalition of concerned citizens and policy experts committed to countering Communist China’s growing influence in the U.S., today launched a new TV and digital ad urging Missouri’s Republican state senators to support President Trump’s anti-CCP agenda by addressing their threat to our food supply and protecting American agriculture producers.

In February, President Donald Trump hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C., wherein the two leaders reaffirmed ties between the United States and India in addition to announcing the launch of a new initiative – the “U.S.-India COMPACT (Catalyzing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce & Technology) for the 21st Century.”

The Protecting America Initiative has long highlighted the fact that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively engaged in an effort to overtake America as the world’s foremost superpower.

On Wednesday, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders built upon the state’s previous successes in passing protections against Chinese Communist Party (CCP)threats and introduced the “Communist China Defense” legislative package in the state capitol.

For at least five years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been actively attempting to undermine the American economy and gain access to U.S. land. China is openly committed to thelong-term goal of world dominance and sees exerting control over aspects of American life as a key to that objective.  

President Trump: “China hopefully is going to stop sending us drugs and if they're not, the tariffs are going to go substantially higher.”

Investing in domestic data centers ensures that American interests come first.

As the Protecting America Initiative has frequently reported, states around the country are taking action to protect their citizens from the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). From protecting U.S. agriculture from unfair competition to ensuring that states prioritize American products in contracting, there are transformative policy changes being enacted around the nation.

The Protecting America Initiative (PAI) today announced Former Acting United States Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf is joining the organization as a Senior Advisor. The addition of Wolf comes as PAI looks to expand its efforts from advocating for state policies to combat the ChineseCommunist Party’s influence in America to also supporting President Trump’s agenda to do the same at the federal level.

“States are taking action against illicit Chinese vapes. More state leaders can act now to fight with Trump against illicit Chinese vapes.”
