John Bolton talks about the recent stunning revelation of last week Chinese spy balloon has been going undetected or disregarded by the Pentagon and sending China a message. The former National Security Adviser says that “one thing that gets Chinese attention is to impose tariffs on them. So how about [imposing] a tariff on goods dealing with aerospace technology and just whip a 50% tariff on them or prohibit them from entering the United States until they get the message.”
