House Republicans are calling on Biden administration’s national security officials to “utilize the full application of sanctions, export controls, and diplomacy” to block a Russian state-owned energy company from helping China to expand its nuclear weapons program and warn this relationship is a “direct threat” to U.S. national security.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, are demanding that the Biden administration acknowledge that Russia and China are “working in tandem against the United States.”
