"We are more prepared to out-compete China, protect our national security, and advance a free and open Indo-Pacific than ever before," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday."Many of our efforts we have been pursuing are bipartisan, underscoring the alignment at home on the key issue. We look forward to the committee getting stood up and we'll continue to work with Democrats and Republicans in Congress on this issue.
