As @SenatorShaheen and @SFRCdems lay out in our new report, the Trump Admin's cuts to our diplomatic infrastructure have undermined America's ability to compete with China.
Congress must act quickly to reverse the damage and preserve America's ability to lead and compete.

Competing with China requires serious investment, strong alliances, and holding Beijing accountable — not presidential pageantry.
Glad to join this statement with my colleagues.
Today, @SenatorShaheen and 18 Democratic Senators issued a statement on @POTUS's summit with Chinese President Xi.
"When Americans are struggling with rising costs of gas, electricity and groceries, President Trump rolled out the red carpet for Xi."

China needs to get the message that if they want to continue to buy Russian gas, if they want to continue to help Russia fuel and pay for this unprovoked war that is killing civilians, they're going to have to pay.
And they're going to have to pay market value.

🚨NEW: @SenatorShaheen statement on today’s war powers resolution vote in the Senate ⬇️
Americans are paying more to drive to work, farmers are paying more to harvest crops and families are footing the bill at the checkout counter, yet Republicans just blocked an effort to rein in @POTUS' war in Iran that is responsible for these higher costs.

We know the Iranians are using targeting information from China and Russia to help them hit American assets.
It is unconscionable that we are not doing everything possible to go after Vladimir Putin, to go after China, to stop their attacks against American men and women.

🧵Trump meets with Xi today. While Americans struggle to afford groceries, Xi gets a presidential greeting at the airport, a lavish state dinner and Chinese flags at the White House.
What are Americans getting in return? (1/6)

AI weakness: Trump claims that AI risks are a “hoax” and that American regulation will help China catch up. At the same time, he’s selling advanced chips to Beijing. That’s the worst of both worlds: diminishing America’s advantage and failing to address AI safety concerns. (5/6)

Leaving our friends stranded: Trump is still caving to Xi on vital defensive arms sales to Taiwan. Using Taiwan’s security as a bargaining chip weakens America’s security and hands a victory to Xi for nothing in return. (6/6)

"It's not just satellite imagery [from China] that Iran relies on to carry out attacks on Americans. China also provides a critical economic lifeline to Iran." -@SenatorShaheen

“We need to cut off the outside support that allows Iran to keep fighting and that starts with China. The Administration should enforce our sanctions against the Chinese entities helping Iran.” -@SenatorShaheen

In a @FoxNews op-ed ahead of the Trump-Xi summit, @SenatorShaheen and @SenJohnCurtis argue that @POTUS should utilize the recently enacted Russia sanctions bill to target the financial lifeline Beijing provides to the Putin’s war against Ukraine.
