Russian energy firm helping China’s nuclear weapons program is ‘direct threat’ to US, GOP warns

House Republicans are calling on Biden administration's national security officials to "utilize the full application of sanctions, export controls, and diplomacy" to block a Russian state-owned energy company from helping China to expand its nuclear weapons program and warn this relationship is a "direct threat" to U.S. national security.

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul are demanding that the Biden administration acknowledge that Russia and China are "working in tandem against the United States."
