1:21Now PlayingVice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump for his trade policy in the presidential debate Tuesday.
"Let's be clear that the Trump administration resulted in a trade deficit, one of the highest we've ever seen in the history of America," Harris said.
“(Trump) ended up selling American chips to China to help them improve and modernize their military,” she added. “(He) basically sold us out when a policy about China should be in making sure the United States of America wins the competition for the 21st century.
Harris continued by saying she would focus on relationships with allies and “on what we need to do to support America's workforce so that we don't end up having on the short end of the stick in terms of workers' rights.”
Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race.
According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
Harris said she would focus on building relationships with foreign allies and investing in American-based technology.
