Feenstra Thanks Trump Administration for Arresting Chinese Nationals Who Smuggled Dangerous Fungus into the United States

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) released the following statement after FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the FBI had arrested two Chinese nationals who smuggled a dangerous pathogen into the United States to conduct research at the University of Michigan:

“I want to thank President Trump and FBI Director Patel for arresting two Chinese nationals with ties to the Chinese Community Party who unlawfully smuggled a dangerous fungus into our country. This highly contagious pathogen is very destructive to agriculture and can even harm human health. From buying up our farmland to infiltrating our universities, this is a stark reminder that the CCP will do anything to undermine our national security and agricultural dominance. I remain committed to working with President Trump to protect our country from the CCP and its illegal activities.”
