Mike Pompeo, who was the former secretary of state, criticized Joe Biden for making the US more vulnerable to foreign threats. He also said that the president's policies were "gaslighting" voters by focusing on climate change instead of other issues.
Instead of calming the economy, Pompeo criticized the Trump administration for passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which he claimed was a way to obscure the Biden administration's priorities, such as investing in climate change-related projects. Biden made the case for the legislation at an event held at the UN in 2022, where the president claimed that it was the biggest climate bill in the country's history.
In an article for the Washington Examiner, Pompeo claimed that the purpose of the legislation was to reduce inflation, but it was actually a gaslighting Trojan horse that would only make matters worse for American families. He said that the law would only benefit groups and activists that are aligned with the Democrats.
In addition, Pompeo criticized John Kerry for focusing on climate change instead of the threat that China could pose to the US.
According to Pompeo, the Biden administration's push to cut down on carbon would only strengthen the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) power over the country. Despite knowing that China uses forced labor in Xinjiang to dominate the solar panel industry, the act provides a significant amount of money to support the development of solar energy projects. Pompeo also referred to the president's commitment to ensuring that global supply chains are free of such practices.
In an article, Pompeo criticized the Biden administration for failing to enforce the Uyghur forced labor prevention act. He noted that the officials of the Biden administration were disappointed that focusing on human life in Xinjiang would affect the president's efforts on climate change.
He urged members of Congress to prioritize the UFLPA over the Biden administration's "green agenda." He also called on them to investigate the Chinese Communist Party's activities in the US. According to Pompeo, the Trump administration has been able to successfully dismantle Chinese spy operations in the country.
In addition to China, the US should also be concerned about other countries such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, as these pose a threat to the country's interests in different areas such as Las Vegas, Manchester, and Des Moines. He urged members of Congress to adopt a more competitive stance in the future.
