He’s advocated for banning any U.S. investment that could benefit the country’s national security.
“The private sector follows the government’s lead, and in the case of Bridgewater, once the government issued its executive orders, Bridgewater complied with all its terms,” McCormick said. “I continue to fully oppose US investments in Chinese companies that the US government has determined are threats to US national security and I think we now need to de-couple our economy from China’s in strategically sensitive industries.
