Trump: China Can Continue Purchasing Iranian Oil; White House: Oil Sanctions Stay​

[VIDEO]

President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement, saying China can continue buying Iranian oil despite longstanding U.S. sanctions. The statement came just hours after a cease-fire deal between Israel and Iran. Trump spoke on the subject earlier on Wednesday: "I'm not giving up. They're in the oil business. I mean, I could stop it if I wanted — I could sell China the oil myself. I don't want to do that. They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen." Iran's defense minister arrived in China on Wednesday, marking his first trip since the United States and Israel struck several of Iran's nuclear facilities. Bipartisan pushback is growing on Capitol Hill against China’s tactics of transnational repression on U.S. soil. Lawmakers are hearing testimony and sounding the alarm. Communist propaganda from China might take a new form when it reaches the United States.

China Still Choking US Industry With Rare Earth Controls; CCP Targets US Energy Sector​

[VIDEO]


China's chokehold on rare earth exports is squeezing U.S. manufacturers. Despite recent trade talks, supply chain headaches seem to be only getting worse. What’s next for American firms? China is ramping up efforts to challenge U.S. energy dominance. A Senate subcommittee is probing China-backed lawsuits aimed at crippling American energy companies. “There is a coordinated assault by the radical left, backed and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, to seize control of our courts and to weaponize litigation against U.S. energy producers,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights. Amid growing biosecurity concerns, a young Chinese couple is allegedly at the center of a case involving the smuggling of a potentially deadly fungus into the United States. Experts warn this may be part of a larger threat. “They were clandestinely running materials from China, connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, into the Winnipeg lab,” said Sam Cooper, investigative reporter and author of "Wilful Blindness."
