As he leaves the White House, President Joe Biden isn’t forgetting Christmas gifts to China. This week he announced new Paris Agreement targets to reduce greenhouse gases and he issued a waiver to California to attempt to do away with the American internal combustion engine.
Biden’s actions would require purchases of additional Chinese-made renewables and batteries, as well as critical minerals. These initiatives, taken as Biden walks out the White House door, strengthen China’s economy at the expense of America’s economy, and result in more jobs for Chinese and fewer for Americans.
President-elect Donald Trump ran on a platform of ensuring that America uses its oil and natural gas, and that people can choose what car to buy. If he fulfills his campaign promises, he will roll back Biden’s latest actions.
