Reference News Network reported on January 27 that according to the US Fox News Network, on the 25th local time, US Senator Rick Scott slammed President Biden for using taxpayers' money to buy a rapid test kit for the new coronavirus antigen made in China.
The White House recently launched a new program with the U.S. Postal Service to mail 500 million copies of rapid test kits for covid-19 antigens to U.S. households. The main supplier of the kit is a company called iHealth Labs, which has a $1.275 billion contract with the U.S. government and the words "Made in China" printed on the kit.
In a statement sent to Fox News, Scott's office reportedly said: "Senator Scott believes it is unacceptable that the Biden administration spends U.S. taxpayer money on kits from China," and claimed that the U.S. government has a responsibility to support U.S. suppliers. (Compilation / Fengqin)
