The DFC cannot save the world on its own.

Thank you very much. I want to talk a little bit about the balancing act that you have, and I understand it is a balancing act.

In that case, China wind up with the project.

There is no place for slave labor in any DFC supported projects.

The United States cannot compromise its values to achieve messaging-related climate objectives.

I remain deeply concerned about DFC support for solar projects involving Chinese-sourced components or equipment.

I put a hold on opening the office in Brazil because it was solely focused on climate, and I wanted a broader aperture than just climate.

It is common knowledge, of course, that there is slave labor involved in the solar industry through China, and people are concerned about that.

There is nothing more nonpartisan and bipartisan than the national interests and the national security of the United States of America.

The flexibility is extremely important because each different circumstance would require different consultation.

U.S. taxpayers should not be subsidizing rich countries who have the money to pay their own policy priorities.

I am concerned, however, about DFC's ability to balance its dual mandate to advance and protect economic freedom, particularly when this Administration at times seeks to use the DFC to promote its agenda.

It is the United States interest to promote economic freedom, which lifts hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and achieves shared prosperity.

This is not a priority for this Administration.

We need to get it together on the border where it starts.

I am going to introduce amendments to strip you of your power and funding to protect the 84 million Americans who do not want to show you their vaccine papers.

And they probably lost their sense of humor on accommodating more migrants until we deal with that problem.

OSHA needs to be reined in. They have gone far beyond their minor, limited mission.
