Mike Baker: 我报道了一起令人震惊的阴谋，两名与中国共产党有关联的中国公民涉嫌走私一种可能被用作农业恐怖主义武器的生物病原体进入美国，并计划在大学实验室进行秘密研究。司法部宣布对这两名研究人员提出指控，他们涉嫌走私一种危险的作物杀伤性真菌。这种真菌可能摧毁农作物，毒害牲畜和人类，对美国食品供应构成威胁。其中一名嫌疑人云庆建被指控为中国共产党忠实拥护者，并在中国获得了研究资金。另一名嫌疑人刘尊农在底特律机场被捕，他携带的样本被怀疑用于克隆和制造更多样本。调查人员发现他们讨论如何走私种子，并发现了云庆建签署的支持中国共产党领导的效忠誓言。虽然他们的计划尚不清楚，但可能对美国农业和公众健康造成严重影响。 Joni Ernst: 我赞扬执法部门拦截了一种潜在的生物武器，并警告中国正在努力购买美国农田。 Rick Crawford: 我认为中国共产党将利用一切手段削弱美国。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   

  • We’ll start things off with disturbing news about an alleged plot by two Chinese nationals, including one with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, to smuggle a "dangerous biological pathogen" that could be used as an agroterrorism weapon into the US. We’ll have the details.

  • Later in the show—President Donald Trump says the Kremlin is preparing to retaliate against Ukraine over their crippling drone attack on Moscow’s strategic bomber fleet. The warning followed a lengthy phone call between the president and Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, and is further eroding hopes that a peaceful settlement to the war can be achieved despite ongoing talks.

  • Plus—a bombshell report reveals that a self-proclaimed "Jew hater" and active participant in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University had direct links to Hamas and the terror group’s al-Qassam Brigades.

  • In our 'Back of the Brief—somber news out of Gaza, where Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of two hostages with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship that were killed during Hamas’s barbaric 7 October terrorist attack.
