Mike Pence Tells Biden to Crack Down on Russia Ahead of an ‘Emerging Cold War’
Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday laid out his vision for U.S. policy on China, calling for the Biden administration to build on the aggressive approach the Trump administration took in the region.
Pence, speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation, detailed a series of concrete steps he hoped President Biden would take to get tough on China after the coronavirus pandemic originated there and as Beijing cracks down on human rights. His remarks were the first of what is expected to be several policy-focused speeches as Pence looks to remain in the public eye.
The former vice president acknowledged the Biden administration has kept some Trump-era policies, such as tariffs on Chinese goods, but warned Biden must do more to keep up the pressure amid “the emerging cold war with China.”
