Burgum emphasizes crucial ‘lever’ for winning Cold War against China.

North Dakota Governor Calls for Energy Policy ⁣to Dominate in Cold War Against China

In a ‌recent interview with Shannon Bream ‌on “Fox ‌News⁣ Sunday,” North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum emphasized the importance of using energy policy to gain an advantage​ in the ongoing cold war with communist China. Governor ⁢Burgum, who is running for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, believes‌ that focusing on the economy is crucial for the well-being of most Americans.

According to Burgum, the current state of ⁣the economy, energy policy, and national security requires a ‌significant shift ‍in direction. He argues that the United States should prioritize selling energy to its allies rather than relying on adversaries for energy sources. Additionally, he highlights the urgent need for border security, expressing concern about the unreported issues at the open border.

Discussing the differences between the current cold war with China and the previous one with Russia, Burgum emphasizes the importance of a strong economy. He ⁣believes that the U.S. must accelerate its economic⁢ growth to effectively compete with China. However, he acknowledges the ‍hindrance caused by excessive red tape and calls for ⁤smarter management of the economy.

Burgum provides an example of how energy policy ‌can be used as leverage in the cold war with China. He mentions the ⁢dependence ‍of Western‍ Europe‍ on Russian energy and how⁢ this influenced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He criticizes the lack of focus on using energy policy as a tool in the relationship with China, despite China being the world’s largest importer of oil and ⁤gas.
