In April you said China was the primary contributor to Russia's military complex.
This proposed budget does contain a poison pill... in the form of a, quote, 'Green Climate Fund' which proposes to transfer U.S. taxpayer money to China through the United Nations.
We cannot use U.S. taxpayer dollars to support an open ended, poorly conceived mission in a country plagued by extreme gang violence and political instability without some kind of assurances that things are going to be different this time.
I do not think they are doing themselves any favor by helping to feed the Russian war machine.
Your characterization of it being shameful equivalence that they have engaged in yesterday is actually stunning.
The budget's biggest focus is on climate change. That focus does not help Ukraine or Israel or help our allies compete against China.
I think we have to look at the appropriate steps to take to deal with, again, what is a profoundly wrongheaded decision.
By rejecting low carbon energy options like natural gas and pushing a green only approach the Administration is doing more to enable China than out compete it.
