Rep. Michael McCaul Assesses Threat China, Russia Pose to US

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

What danger does China actually pose to America? How closely are China and Russia working together? Is the Biden administration doing enough to prepare for foreign policy threats?

America and China are in a “global competition for economic and military dominance,” says Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas.

If America does not take strategic action now, our children will be the ones bearing the burden of that tension between China and America, the Texas lawmaker says.

McCaul, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how Russia and China view America right now, and how the U.S. can take steps to prepare for international threats.

We also cover these stories:
