Plan (drafter input)

planner america_first_economics

Trump Beijing trip May 14-15, first visit to China in eight years. The US-China trade truce is on the table. China's April factory-gate prices jumped 2.8% — fastest since 2022 — because energy costs spiked from the Hormuz disruption. Their economists say strategic oil stockpiles cushioned the blow. Mike's angle: China has strategic stockpiles. We have an Energy Secretary who says he can't predict prices. One country planned ahead. The other one held climate summits. Button: Strategic reserves are a strategy. Hoping is not.

Video pillar, America-first economics. Talking-head delivery works perfectly — single punchy contrast between China's preparedness and US energy posture. Specific numbers (2.8% PPI, first China visit in 8 years). Fresh lane, no overlap with recent content.

Script

China's factory prices jumped 2.8% in April. Fastest since 2022. Why? Energy costs spiked. The Strait of Hormuz is a mess, Iran war is in month three, crude is up, shipping is up. And China absorbed it. You know how? Strategic oil stockpiles. They planned for this. While we were doing what? Climate pledges. Net zero by whenever. Our energy policy for four years was a vibe and a prayer. [chuckles] Trump's in Beijing May 14th, first time in eight years, trying to hold the trade truce together. Sitting across from a country that looked at global energy risk and built a buffer. One country had a strategy. The other held summits. Strategic reserves are a strategy. Hoping is not.
