President Trump asserted on Saturday that he has the authority to make good on his threat to force all American businesses to leave China, citing a national security law that has been used mainly to target terrorists, drug traffickers and pariah states like Iran, Syria and North Korea. As he arrived in France for the annual meeting of the Group of 7 powers, Mr. Trump posted a message on Twitter citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 — a law meant to enable a president to isolate criminal regimes but not intended to be used to cut off economic ties with a major trading partner because of a disagreement over tariffs. “For all of the Fake News Reporters that don’t have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc. , try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Case closed!”.

China warned that the United States would suffer as a result.“The Chinese side strongly urges the U. S. side not to misjudge the situation, not to underestimate the determination of the Chinese people, and immediately stop the wrong approach, otherwise all consequences will be borne by the U. S.,” the statement added.In raising the possibility of forcing American businesses to pull out of China on Friday, Mr. Trump framed it not as a request but as an order he had already issued.“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing our companies HOME
