You are only getting part of it out of context. CNBC is owned by Comcast who also owns NBC, and MSNBC. Comcast held Biden's campaign kick off fundraiser in Philly. Brian Roberts their CEO is a big Obama friend and former financial bundler for him. He's now backing Biden.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday he was ordering U.S. companies to look at ways to close their operations in China and make more of their products in the United States instead, a rhetorical strike at Beijing as trade tensions mounted.
Trump cannot legally compel U.S. companies to abandon China immediately and he gave no detail on how he might proceed with any such order, although he said he would be offering a response later on Friday to tariffs on American products announced by China earlier in the day.
