Lucas on DOE Decision to Pull Grant from Company Affiliated with the CCP: "This is a win for taxpayers and American businesses"

Press Release

"This is a win for taxpayers and American businesses.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

On no account should our tax dollars be funding a company with "substantial' ties to the Chinese Communist Party. These funds are intended to strengthen America's battery production and supply chain, not to tighten China's stranglehold on these supplies. I'm pleased with DOE's decision, but incredibly frustrated that it took the Department six months and multiple letters from our Committee to come to such an obvious conclusion. We'll continue to hold the Administration accountable for its funding decisions and ensure that American taxpayer dollars are protected from exploitation by the CCP."
