Republicans probing banks over climate coordination impacting farmers

FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are investigating some of the largest U.S. banks over their involvement in an international alliance that seeks to pursue a green transition.

Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"At a time when global demand for food is rising and wars continue to affect the global supply of food and agriculture inputs, we cannot sacrifice our nation’s food security to the demands of the far-left climate agenda," they wrote to the banks. "We urge you to trust American farmers to do what is best for their land to produce the food, fuel, and fiber on which our country and world rely."

"Our nation’s farmers should not be subjected to the political demands of an unelected international organization," they added. "Since the 1940s, American farmers, ranchers, and foresters have increased agriculture outputs nearly threefold with little to no change in inputs; this is a significant achievement in on-farm productivity and efficiency. We should focus on policies that foster the continued responsible growth of the American agriculture industry, not policies that will shutter it."
