Republicans are calling on Biden officials to block a Russian state-owned energy company from aiding China in its expansion of its nuclear weapons program.
"Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy corporation, Rosatom, is helping the People’s Republic of China (PRC) acquire enough weapons grade plutonium to fuel its strategic nuclear breakout," the chairmen wrote in a letter Friday to White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

The chairmen explained that Russia's Rosatom "helps fuel" Russian President Vladimir Putin's war efforts in Ukraine.
