| Biden turns to country with documented child labor issues for green energy mineral supplies: 'It's egregious' |
| 2022-12-19 |
| [FoxNews] The Biden administration opened the door to financing mining projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia to bolster the global green energy supply chain as it pushes ahead with its climate agenda, despite the DRC's documented issues with child laborers being used in such mines. Secretary of State Antony Blinken entered into the agreement Tuesday, signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the two nations and lauding their work improving the electric vehicle battery supply chain. During a signing ceremony, Blinken said the "future" was happening, given the importance of cobalt for manufacturing electric vehicles. "I really want to commend the DRC and Zambia, their governments for their leadership and vision in developing an electric vehicle battery council," Blinken said Tuesday. "This is the future, and it is happening in the DRC and in Zambia." |

| #4 This surprises me only in that I have never heard of a Biden, Romney, Pelosi or Kerry family member investing in either of those countries. |

| #1 We borrow the money from the PRC, the locals skim off over half, the minerals get shipped to the PRC and then we pay inflated prices for the batteries ...from the PRC. What a Deal! (That last statement was sarcasm by the way) |
