the United States is in a new cold war with China, but Joe Biden doesn't seem to be up to the fight. China's military is growing while ours is shrinking. The President's Defense budget can't even keep up with the Democrats' own rate of inflation. The President even denies that China is waging a cold war against us. And while we are shortchanging our own military against a dangerous communist adversary, the Government wants to send $8 billion of your money to a U.N. boondoggle called the Green Climate Fund. If anyone should be paying for a Green Climate Fund, it should be the Chinese communists, the world's worst polluters--not American taxpayers. My proposal is simple. Instead of giving that $8 billion to the United Nations to waste on climate schemes and corruption, we should send it to our troops and help rebuild our military. The U.N. or the U.S. military? It is an easy choice. I urge my colleagues to support the motion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island.
