Representative Judy CHU, D-CALIF, made the accusation during his interrogation as GREER, and many Democrats expressed their confusion as to the president Donald Trump’s objectives are and how quickly they could be accomplished.
“I have to point out that there are articles, such as bananas and cocoa beans, that the United States can never grow to meet our own demand because of our mostly non-tropical climate,” said CHU. “In fact, the United States is the largest importer of bananas in the world. This shooting first, so the AIM approach aggravates the life of the Americans, without real plan and that makes no sense.”
Representative Suzan Delbene, D-Wash., Echoes the frustration of CHU, arguing that Trump had not established a clear objective for prices and did not develop trade transactions negotiations.
“I do not understand what countries come to do,” said Delbene about nations that require commercial interviews with the White House. “You put prices in place, refined prices, without any specificity on the objectives, no plans, and then you say that the countries arrive. What? To negotiate individual with President Trump? And is his whim what is acceptable or not acceptable?”

This is what we look at,” replied Greer.
