US NEEDS TO DECOUPLE FROM CHINA NOW: PETER NAVARRO

LT. COL. OLIVER NORTH: I think the communist Chinese are laughing at this point right now in Beijing. Xi Jinping intends to become the leader of the most powerful country on Earth.

This kind of thinking is dangerous. It's this kind of administration that's going to lead us into a catastrophic war.
