Today, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) met with Vinay Kwatra, India’s ambassador to the United States. They discussed the importance of the U.S.-India relationship, regional security, manufacturing and trade, and efforts to shift critical manufacturing from China to India.

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.
“These steps would send a clear message to Beijing that it cannot choke off critical supplies to our defense industries without consequences to its own strategic sectors,” Moolenaar wrote. “By acting together, the U.S. and its allies can strengthen our resilience, reinforce solidarity, and create real leverage with China.”
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.

We also talked about how our countries can work together to protect innovation and counter the Chinese Communist Party. I look forward to continuing to work with the ambassador and the Dutch government on these issues,” said Moolenaar.
