Today, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump urging strong, coordinated action with U.S. allies to counter Beijing’s continued stranglehold on rare earths and magnets critical to defense and advanced manufacturing.

The Committee strongly supports this call for coordinated allied action to counter the CCP’s ongoing weaponization of critical mineral and rare earth supply chains. The letter commends U.S. leadership in pressing G7 partners to impose tariffs on China for supporting Russia, highlighting how collective measures can cut off resources that fuel aggression.

In 2019, James criticized basketball executive Daryl Morey for supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.
