A damning report released on Monday from Senate Democrats raises alarm bells about how President Donald Trumps actions in office have hurt America on the world stage and are boosting Chinas fortunes.
The report entitled The Price of Retreat: America Cedes Global Leadership to China was released by Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and it pulls together information collected via meetings with international charities, foreign officials, and U.S. companies.

Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the committees top Democrat, said in a statement.
Several areas of concern were highlighted in the report.
