At the same time, Trump announced the appointment of former Senator David Perdue as the US ambassador to China.

Trump said, "He will play a key role in implementing the strategic peace in the region and establishing productive relationships with Chinese leaders."

According to an opinion piece he wrote in 2019, during the first trade war, he told Liu He, China's chief negotiator at the time, that "cooperation is our ultimate goal."

In this regard, the 74-year-old Perdue said, "I have lived in Asia twice, and I am well aware of the seriousness of this responsibility, and I look forward to implementing President Trump's strategy to make the world safe again and to represent the interests of the United States in China."
