In October 2025, Bloomberg News reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Chinese government officials were offering to invest $1 trillion in the United States in exchange for getting a break on tariffs. But according to The Hill's Sophie Brams, a growing number of MAGA Republicans are voicing their opposition to the proposed deal.
One of them is former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).
In a May 11 post on X, formerly Twitter, Taylor posted, "The war in Iran must be going worse than we know as the Strait remains closed. So much so that China may be allowed to build $1 Trillion in factories in the U.S. probably in exchange for help with Iran. I’m old enough to remember when MAGA was demanding China not be allowed to own any land in America. But MAGA is whatever Trump says it is, according to him, so now it’s for foreign wars and China. Shocking."
Fox News' Laura Ingraham, reporting on the deal, posted "!!" And another right-wing media figure, radio and host and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, posted, "omg."
Conservative columnist Gordon G. Chang is vehemently opposed to the proposed $1 trillion deal.
On X, Chang wrote, "China's regime will use investments in America to subvert and destroy our country. Do not allow our enemy more bases of subversion here."
Steve Johnson, a self-described "America First/MAGA conservative," tweeted, "China is our number 1 enemy and it's not even close. It's crazy after what they did in 2020 and have been doing, that we continue relationships with them. I would label them a terrorist country if I was President. They have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans using cartels bringing in fentanyl and bring over viruses into our Country. They have Chinese national spy's in our Universities and have setup illegal bio labs as well, etc… F–– China."
