Newsweek: on Free Trade


Bill Hagerty: Biden making us dependent on China for solar & wind

He described the things that have come from the Biden administration with China as well, including "killing the Keystone XL pipeline, stopping all drilling here in America, making us dependent on solar panels from China, on wind turbines from China--China's laughing all the way to the bank."

Joe Biden: Won't be at the mercy of other countries to protect our own

Biden has been trying to fortify his message on China, and suggested he would pursue the kind of "decoupling" being pushed by leading Republicans. "We'll make the medical supplies and protective equipment that our country needs," he said, while discussing the pandemic. "We'll make them here in America so we will never again be at the mercy of China or other foreign countries in order to protect our own people."

Jon Tester: Federal farm subsidies are a necessary evil

Q: What are your thoughts on federal subsidies to support farmers?

A: It's a necessary evil at this point in time. I don't think there is a farmer out there that wouldn't want to get their check from the marketplace. Unfortunately right now it doesn't work with $3-plus gasoline and fertilizer and chemical prices where they are. I think it is important that the government facilitate small business and small processors so we can create more and more opportunities for farmers to market their products.
