MNI BRIEF: Senate GOP Calls on Europe To Counter China Jointly

WASHINGTON (MNI)

Senate Republicans in Washington Wednesday issued a report pressing Europe, the United Nations, and other market-led democracies to confront China together, a shift from President Donald Trump's more unilateral actions.

Senator Jim Risch, Republican of Idaho and chairman of the foreign relations committee, issued the report saying that the committee is "deeply interested" in putting aside differences and partnering with Europe to counter China.

The strategy, which aligns with comments made by President-elect Joe Biden and those of his advisers, suggests that Democratic and Republican views have converged in seeking a multilateral approach to China.
