Trump at RNC Promises to Stop China's 'Outrageous Theft' of US IP

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in his acceptance speech Thursday at the Republican National Convention promised again to end China’s “outrageous theft” of U.S. citizens’ IP. Trump’s pledge to protect U.S. IP from China has been the candidate’s only stated position on copyright policy, leading several industry lobbyists to conclude it’s too early to say how Trump would handle copyright issues if elected president (see 1606290080). During his remarks, Trump also slammed excessive regulation, "the greatest job killer of them all," he said. "We will end it very, very quickly." Under his administration "in my first 100 days," he would go to the department heads in government to demand projects they could slash. “The politicians have talked about this for years, but I am going to do it," Trump said.
