9/25/2023 0 Comments Psaki press conference![]() ![]() In terms of the legislation, obviously we have spoken out about our concerns of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Unlike the former President, this President has spoken out against human rights abuses, has raised his concerns about human rights abuses directly with President Xi, and we have done that at every level from our national security team. PSAKI: Well, we would absolutely dispute that notion. Does the White House have a position yet on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act which passed unanimously in the Senate?Īnd just broadly in that same context, how do you respond to the criticism from Senator Rubio and some Republicans that the administration is sort of letting Beijing have some advantage on human rights abuses to try to win over their cooperation on climate issues? ![]() We’ll, obviously, be in close touch with them, as we will continue to be, and we’ll see where we - where we are at the end of today. We don’t need to go through a cumbersome process that every day brings additional risks. A press release is not a formal offer.Īnd regardless, even the scant details that have been reported present more complicated, more difficult options than the one that is quite obvious, in the President’s view, and is in front of the faces of every member up on the Hill. My understanding, at the point I walked out here, is that there’s been no formal offer made. I think Republican members may also be meeting or discussing among themselves. PSAKI: Well, right now - and perhaps this the awkwardness of 4:15, while people are still meeting on the Hill - right now, Democratic members are meeting on the Hill to discuss options on the path forward. Is that where he stands? Would he be open to that? He seemed to suggest that he would support a carveout in the filibuster, if all else fails, to hike the debt limit. What’s the White House response to that? Is there support for either of those from the President?Īnd then, I was hoping to get clarification on something the President said yesterday. So, off the top, Senator Mitch McConnell has proposed for Republicans to either support a short-term hike in the debt limit through December or to support a expedited reconciliation process where Democrats would vote to hike it long term. I was hoping to get you to weigh in on three different debt limit scenarios since there’s so many. That’s why he’s leading and implementing on - implementing vaccination requirements for 100 million workers, two thirds of all workers in the United States, and that’s why we’re seeing growing momentum for vaccination requirements across the sectors and across the country. ![]() Vaccination requirements get more people vaccinated, helping to end the pandemic and strengthen the economy. The President’s message will be clear: Vaccination requirements work. The President will visit with a company local to the Chicago area that is imposing its own vaccine requirement ahead of the OSHA rule. Okay, tomorrow - just one item for all of you at the top: Tomorrow, the President will travel to Elk Grove Village, Illinois - a trip he had planned to do last week - to meet with public and private sector leaders who have implemented vaccination requirements. PSAKI: Oh, what did you think was going to happen? (Laughter.) I’m sorry to disappoint.
