Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) condemned the Biden administration’s consideration of implementing a “sole purpose” policy for its nuclear weapons on Dec. 7, saying that such a move would leave the nation’s allies and partners vulnerable to aggression from China.

“I believe that the administration is making a serious, serious mistake in even considering this, as even considerations have consequences in this arena,” Risch said.
