Trump Quietly Made China Pay for Funding Those Soros-Style Protests [WATCH]

Commentator Carl Higbie argued that recent protests in the United States connected to foreign policy decisions may be linked to funding tied to China, while highlighting a series of moves by President Donald Trump involving oil markets, shipping routes, and global trade.

During a segment discussing protests that erupted after recent military actions involving Iran and Venezuela, Higbie said the demonstrations appeared coordinated and organized.

“What does Trump’s new shipping insurance declaration for the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, Venezuela and the Panama Canal and China all have in common? Well, come on down this rabbit hole with me, and believe it or not, it starts right here in America with protests,” Higbie said.

Higbie pointed to similarities among protest signs appearing at demonstrations across the country.

“I couldn’t help but notice that all the protests in the US within hours of the Iranian strike, this seems pretty well organized. In fact, they’re all carrying bundles of signs to distribute to the crowd. Look at the nice yellow, black writing. And have you ever noticed that all the people protesting these airstrikes in Iran have the exact same signs, exact same fonts, exact same colors, and in many cases, some of these appear to be the same people from the Venezuela protest a month ago.”

He also said the signage resembled demonstrations connected to immigration protests earlier in the year.

“Also, these signs look very similar to the ice out Protest We saw all across the country, starting in Minnesota too. Why that’s because they’re being funded by the same people. Well, actually, the same country, China, a New York based leftist group identified by the State Department as linked to the Chinese Communist Party, the People’s forum that our own State Department has linked back to China.”

Higbie then referenced information he said had been discussed by congressional investigators regarding funding connected to the group.

“So who are these folks? They’re a New York City based nonprofit organization, operating tax exempt, by the way, founded in 2017 and who do they get money from? Oh, look, according to the House Ways and Means Committee, the People’s forum admitted to receiving over 20 million in funding from Neville. Roy singman, wealthy us expat living in Shanghai with long documented ties to the CCP.”

Higbie also mentioned that Singham is married to Code Pink founder Jodie Evans.

“Fun fact, also, this guy is married to Jody Evans. She’s the founder of Code Pink, who used to be really critical of China, until she got married to him back in 2017 and then she, all of a sudden, became like awful friendly to China. Weird, right?”

Higbie said he believes the protests are connected to China’s economic interests, particularly oil supplies.

“But the real question is, why would China Fund protests in America? This is actually really simple, and this is something that CNN and all the brilliant military and political analysts have all missed, Trump is not doing these strategic strikes and ops in a vacuum.”

Higbie said China relies heavily on imported oil and suggested that recent actions by the United States have affected those supply chains.

“You guys being China, import 70% of the oil to your economy that it requires to function. So Xi Jinping, hold my beer.”

He said China had previously received a portion of its oil from Venezuela.

“China gets, or actually got, three to 5% of its oil from Venezuela. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough of an interest to have China place anti aircraft radars and surface to air missiles in Venezuela to protect those interests that, by the way, we took out in like a nanosecond.”

Higbie said that after the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, protests appeared in the United States opposing further intervention.

“So when we kidnapped Maduro, China funded protest here to try to dissuade any further intervention because of political pressure in Venezuela, because they thought they could just install another China friendly head of state and keep the royal spigot running.”

He said President Trump then redirected Venezuelan oil production.

Trump previously described the administration’s approach to rebuilding Venezuela’s oil sector.

“We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country,” Trump said.

Higbie also discussed the relationship between China and Iranian oil exports.

“Fast forward a month. Came the Iran strikes this weekend, and again, within 24 hours, mass protests here in America with the same signs from the same group, but this time supporting Iran.”

He said China has been heavily dependent on Iranian oil exports.

“Would you look at that China’s heavy reliance on Iranian oil. That is why China is funding this round of protests, because in that last month, Trump has taken away over 20% of their oil supply.”

Higbie also discussed Iran’s natural resource reserves.

“By the way, Iran has what is believed to be 20 trillion in oil reserves, another 10 trillion in gold, lithium, copper, and a bunch of other things that were all being traded in the yen, not the dollar.”

He connected those developments to broader geopolitical economic competition.

“Henry Kissinger knew this, which is why China was challenging the deal he made with the Saudis decades ago. That quote. Sold all oil would be sold in US dollars, the petro dollar.”

Higbie said President Trump has also taken steps involving international shipping and energy routes.

“All these things are related Trump’s push to take back the Panama Canal from China.”

He also discussed the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy shipping lanes.

Higbie pointed to tensions involving international shipping insurance firms based in the United Kingdom.

“This is the same UK that is also heavily reliant on China, because they get rid of all their own energy. They need to import stuff now.”

President Trump later announced a move involving maritime trade security.

“Effective immediately, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide at a very reasonable price political risk, insurance and guarantees for all financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all shipping lines, if necessary. The United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible,” Trump said.

Trump also criticized the United Kingdom’s position on military operations in the region.

“This is not the age of Churchill. I will say. The UK has been very, very uncooperative with that stupid island that they have that they gave away and took 100 year lease,” Trump said.

Higbie said the move could shift control of maritime insurance and shipping security away from foreign firms.

“So not only did the UK companies bet on China, they just lost all the revenue from the Middle East region in insurance, because Trump’s going to have the US back the shipping insurance policies.”
