herein lies the rub:

Lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee have asked the Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan watchdog agency, to review the impact of the new power on the DFC's core mission of investing in economic development projects in other countries to counter China's Belt and Road project, a global infrastructure initiative.

the ongoing pandemic has highlighted the utility of revitalizing US manufacturing

but this is neither a new issue nor one unique to the pandemic

i don't think trump has demonstrated any aptitude for creating or enact comprehensive strategic policies of any sort, but re-shoring manufacturing is an inherently complementary effort to DFC's core mission, even if it's not explicitly stated as such.

short of investigating the standard corruption that donald brings with him everywhere he goes, i'm not sure i'd rush to intervene when he appears to be stumbling into a good decision.
