On Friday’s broadcast of “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” on the Fox Business Network, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tn.) said the Biden administration will seek to secure high-level talks with Chinese government officials in the United States. He claimed that he was prepared to sacrifice the power of the United States, pointing out:to the State Department Statement on Fentanyl Sanctions Omits Reference to Chinese Company Shipped Fentanyl Precursor to Mexico.
Moderator Maria Bartiromo said, “The level of aggression is also surprising given the repeated lack of response from the United States. We have sent surveillance balloons across the country for a week, There was no response, we were covering up the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no response, we won’t talk about it anymore…should the United States do anything to push this back? ?”
Mr. Hagerty replied: In fact, we’ve seen the State Department withdraw critical statements.as Secretary of the Treasury Sanctions imposed by naming Chinese companies that sent fentanyl precursors To America and to Mexico, our The State Department actually removed it from the message Because they don’t want to offend the Chinese — I guess they don’t want to offend the Chinese. They are still trying to hold some kind of high-level conference and will sacrifice our power for it. I think it’s a completely wrong way to deal with this. We should deal from positions of strength and power. ”
