Donald Trump Jr.: We Need to Control Our Supply Chain – ‘Trump 2016 agenda was 100 percent right’
“If there’s one thing that coronavirus has taught us, [it’s] that Donald Trump and his agenda in 2016 when he [ran on] the MAGA agenda was 100 percent right,” Trump Jr. said. “We do need to control our supply chains. We do need to have American manufacturing so the Chinese can’t do what they did,” Donald Trump Jr. told “Hannity” in an interview on Fox News Thursday night.
“Look how quick Mexico shut down the border to the U.S. when they said, ‘Hey, you know, guys, it can actually be done.’ So if [there’s] one thing that this has shown us [it’s] that Donald Trump was right all along,” Trump Jr. said. “Donald Trump is a guy that got it and saw that.”
“He’s also the guy that built the greatest economy America has ever known. He’s the guy that can make America great again, again, once we get through this,” concluded Trump Jr.

Analysis: Biden unlikely to sanction Iran’s oil exports, gas prices ‘critical during an election year’
Analysts say President Joe Biden is unlikely to “prompt dramatic sanctions action on Iran’s oil exports” due to “worries about boosting oil prices and angering top buyer China” according to Reuters.
Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, House Republican Representative Steve Scalise, said the administration had made it easier for Iran to sell its oil, generating revenues that were being used to “go fund terrorist activity.”
The Biden administration has maintained for months that among its primary goals is to keep the Gaza conflict between terror group Hamas and Israel from turning into a wider regional war. However, House Republican leaders accused President Joe Biden of failing to enforce existing measures and said they would take up this week a series of bills to sharpen sanctions on Iran.
Kimberly Donovan, a sanctions and anti-money laundering expert at the Atlantic Council, said that oil-related sanctions have not been strictly enforced in the past couple of years.
“I would not expect the administration to tighten enforcement in response to Iran’s missile and drone attacks against Israel over the weekend, mainly for concerns (that) could lead to increases in oil prices,” she said.
