(CNSNews.com) – The State Department is reviewing the process of the Trump administration’s eleventh-hour determination that the Chinese Communist Party’s actions against Uyghurs Muslims constitute genocide, President Biden’s nominee to be ambassador to the United Nations said on Wednesday.
“I think the State Department now is reviewing that now because all of the procedures were not followed, and I think that they’re looking to make sure that they are followed, to ensure that that designation is held,” Linda Thomas-Greenfield told her Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing.
