Three House Republicans are calling on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to take action against China-based companies fraudulently advertising their American flags as “Made in the USA” on online retail platforms.

The letter, sent to FTC Chair Lina Khan on Nov. 1, was led by House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and joined by Reps. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) and Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.).
