Sen. Bernie Sanders delivered a wholesale rejection of President Donald Trump’s escalating trade wars and combative approach to foreign policy Wednesday night, urging Americans to remember their common humanity. “We don’t have to hate China. We don’t have to hate other people. Let’s figure out a way to work together,” the Vermont independent said in a CNN town hall, hours after Trump raised his tariffs on Beijing to 125% amid a trade battle ignited by the president. “The goal has got to be to break down these barriers that separate us as human beings — come together as Americans and come together globally as human beings,” Sanders said. In the town hall moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Sanders fielded questions from audience members about Trump’s tit-for-tat tariffs, the administration’s cuts to the federal workforce, Democratic struggles with young and Latino voters and more. His answers sought to address anxieties across party lines. “People by and large are decent human beings who want the best for their kids,” he said. Sanders, 83, returned to many of the same themes he has emphasized since launching his first presidential run in 2015.
