Carlos Gimenez Expresses Concerns Over Ford&#8217;s Licensing Agreement with Chinese Battery Maker<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Carlos \u200bGimenez (R-FL) has raised concerns \u200dabout a licensing agreement between Ford Motor and a \u200bChinese battery\u2064 maker, urging for \u200btransparency and\u2063 holding the Biden administration accountable for the deal.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Did\u200d the Biden Administration \u2064Give Ford the Green Light?<\/h3>\n<p>During \u200can interview on Fox News Saturday, Gimenez questioned whether the Biden\u2064 administration had approved the agreement. He highlighted the \u200dadministration&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-headlong-rush-to-surrender\/\" title=\"A Headlong Rush to Surrender\">tough talk<\/a> \u2062on China sanctions but emphasized\u2064 the importance\u200c of examining their actions. Gimenez expressed his belief that this\u2063 deal is an example of\u200c the Biden administration assisting the Chinese\u200c Communist Party (CCP).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gimenez further criticized President Joe Biden, accusing him of using climate change as an excuse to increase the United States&#8217; reliance on Chinese energy \u2063sources.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns about the partnership between Ford and the \u2063Chinese battery maker were\u200b also raised by two prominent Republicans, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO). In a letter to Ford, they outlined various concerns \u200dand demanded answers regarding the\u2064 proposed $3.5\u2062 billion factory in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Gimenez specifically\u200c expressed worry about the tax credits Ford would receive and the\u200b potential use of U.S. taxpayer \u2062dollars to employ Chinese \u200cworkers at a plant where they would have operational\u200c control. He also highlighted allegations of forced \u2064labor practices by the \u2063owner of the Chinese\u200c company, Contemporary Amperex\u200b Technology Ltd. (CATL).<\/p>\n<p>Last \u2063year, the U.S. implemented a ban on products\u2062 from Xinjiang \u2064due to the region&#8217;s use of\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/professors-in-country-known-for-using-slave-labor-criticize-israeli-persecution\/\" title=\"Professors in Country Known For Using Slave Labor Criticize Israeli \u2018Persecution\u2019\">forced labor practices<\/a>. Ford&#8217;s partnership with CATL, the largest producer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carlos-gimenez-says-biden-helped-china-in-ford-partnership-with-manufacturer\/\" title=\"Carlos Gimenez claims that Biden assisted China in the Ford partnership with the manufacturer.\">electric vehicle batteries globally<\/a>, was \u2063revealed in\u2063 February. CATL supplies batteries to major automakers such as Tesla, BMW, and\u2064 Volkswagen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re prioritizing profits over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congressional-war-vets-warn-biden-against-shuttering-gitmo\/\" title=\"Congressional War Vets Warn Biden Against Shuttering Gitmo\">national security interests<\/a> \u2062of the \u200cUnited States, and Ford should be\u200d ashamed of \u2063this decision,&#8221; Gimenez stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gimenez clarified that \u200che does not oppose Ford\u2062 building a multibillion-dollar\u2064 battery plant in the United States but questioned \u200dthe wisdom of partnering with \u2062a \u2063Chinese company tied to the \u2064CCP and \u2062potentially\u2063 undermining national security.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
