As Russian President Vladamir Putin hosted China’s Xi Jinping to oversee a Red Square military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, Florida Senator Rick Scott filed the Countering Corrupt Political (CCP) Influence Act in the U.S. Senate. Not that the members of the new “Iron Curtain” Axis of Evil in the Western Hemisphere would abide by U.S. laws, Senator Scott’s legislative measure would require the Communist Party of China, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, North Korea,” or any other “adversarial nations,” to notify the U.S. government 96 hours in advance of any government meetings scheduled to take place.
“The United States is facing threats from adversaries around the world who want to destroy our way of life. Xi and the Communist Chinese Party have blatantly spied on the United States, stolen our research and intellectual data, and attempted to infiltrate the inner workings of government to the regime’s interests,” said Sen. Scott in a written statement. “
Scott also pointed out the recent touring of Miami International Airport (MIA) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) by Cuban government officials.
“Under the Biden administration, Cuban officials were given the red-carpet treatment at Miami International Airport and given a literal tour of airport security operations, while the dictatorship proudly harbors terrorists and hosts a Chinese spy base 90 miles from Florida’s shore,” Scott added. “For years, these regimes have been allowed to exploit America, our government, and our research while denying Americans the same privilege in their nations. We cannot continue putting America’s national security at risk by allowing regimes unlimited access to spy on U.S. soil. President Trump is taking significant action to stand against our adversaries and put America and our national security first, and Congress must do the same by passing my CCP Influence Act.”
China-backed Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro recently signed a strategic plan with the Kremlin to solidify its relationship with the former Soviet state. The agreement marks Russia's fourth such strategic partnership in two years, following similar pacts with China, North Korea, and Iran.
