Washington:
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has asked his Democratic colleagues to draft a legislative package to "outcompete" China, create new American jobs and invest in strategic partners and alliances like NATO and India.
On a caucus call on Tuesday, Mr Schumer discussed his push to direct Senate committees to draft a legislation to protect American jobs and outcompete China.
He said his intention is to put the legislation on the Senate floor for a vote this spring.
"Today I directed the chairs and members of our relevant committees to start drafting a legislative package to outcompete China and create new American jobs," Mr Schumer said.
