US Treasury Sec. Mnuchin hopes Democrats back the trade efforts with China

The US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was on the wires earlier today, via Reuters, noting that he hopes that the Democrats will back the trade efforts with China.

His comments come in response to a letter from the US Senator Chuck Schumer. 

Schumer said in the letter: As Secretary of the Treasury, you certainly have a keen understanding of the impact of China's rapacious trade tactics on our economy and American jobs."
