You are trying to implement a Bill you never passed. This is not the BBB, this is the IRA.

we are going to continue to fight to make sure that they can confirm----

The Bill was very much written so that we would bring America back, bring manufacturing back to America.

We would not be relying on unreliable supply chains, especially four countries of concern: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

This absolutely allows China in the market and staying in the market for the entire extent of the IRA.

The complication is, that this administration doesn't want anything that comes out of the ground.

Sanctions only work when they are enforced.

President Biden, however, has abandoned the Maximum Pressure strategy, under the Biden administration, Iran's revenue from exports of oil products has risen to over $100 billion.
