Jessica Taylor: For free trade, but China has been a bad actor

Taylor also supports Trump's trade policies, saying she is "for free trade" but feels Chinese trade policy has required an aggressive response. "I prefer free markets to be in place, but China has been a bad actor for a long time, stealing our intellectual property and a host of other aggressions," she said. "I do support what our president is doing right now." Source: Montgomery Advertiser on 2022 Alabama Senate race Jan 21, 2020
