McCaul Statement on Biden Admin's New Guidance for Missile Technology Exports

WASHINGTON - U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) - chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs Committee - released the following statement on the Biden administration's new guidancefor missile technology exports. McCaul worked throughout his chairmanship to strengthen and advance the AUKUS security partnership.

"While this announcement takes a step in the right direction, it is still far too little too late. Chairman Xi and his Chinese Communist Party are not slowing down in their malign agenda - and the U.S. and its allies must rise quickly to face that challenge. That's why I've been pushing the Biden administration to take meaningful action on AUKUS transfers for missile technology for over a year.

"The devil will be in the details of this new policy, which is why I will be closely monitoring its implementation under the new Trump administration. In the meantime, I look forward to working to advance the MTCR Act I co-led last Congress to strengthen the crucial AUKUS partnership and deter the CCP."
