Biden administration climate envoy John Kerry admitted before Congress on Wednesday that slave labor plagues the globe s green energy supply chain, potentially complicating the administration s efforts to source materials from top human rights abusers like China.
During testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Kerry was pressed on his recent comments suggesting that China s ongoing genocide against the ethnic Uyghur minority should not get in the way of a climate deal. Some 80 percent of the world s solar panels are produced in China, and the United States has determined that at least a portion are made by Uyghur slave laborers in the country s Xinjiang province. Asked about the issue, Kerry was forced to publicly acknowledge that slave labor fuels the green energy market.
“Several Republican senators have called for an investigation into the veracity and context of the allegations against Kerry, and for his resignation or firing if the allegations are confirmed. However, Congress has limited leverage to ensure that these legitimate requests are addressed by the Biden administration,” wrote Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Marco Rubio of Florida and Todd Young of Indiana, all members of the Foreign Relations Committee.
The senators said the $2.5 million should be held up until Mr. Kerry provides a list of all meetings, phone calls, and other interactions with Mr. Zarif from January 2017 to January of this year, along with copies of all digital communications related to Israeli military activity. They also said Mr. Kerry must provide a sworn statement “that he did not divulge classified information to Foreign Minister Zarif.”
