Watch: Manchin testifies before House on China, critical minerals
Former Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) returned to Capitol Hill Monday to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on China’s critical minerals supply chain and U.S. competitiveness.
Manchin, who now serves on the board of critical minerals producer Ramaco Resources, retired from Congress in January. Once considered the most moderate Democrat in the upper chamber, the staunch supporter of oil and gas later decided to leave the party and file as an independent.
Tuesday’s hearing came weeks after President Trump announced a framework for a deal with China that focuses on rare earth exports to the U.S., building on previous talks between the nations that eased tariffs on imports from Beijing.
The event was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
