Aumua Amata Radewagen (AS-At Large), Gabe Amo (RI-01), James Moylan (GU-At Large), Michael McCaul (TX-10), and Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07) in sending a letter to President Donald Trump ahead of his meeting with Xi Jinping, outlining several opportunities to advance the United States\u2019 interests and deliver results for the American people.\n\nIn the letter, the lawmakers point to recent progress in U.S.-China diplomacy, including the release of Zion Church Pastor Ezra Jin in July. Ahead of Thursday\u2019s meeting, they urge the President to build on that progress by pressing for the release of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens Min Zin and Youlin Chen, stopping the flow of fentanyl precursors, securing critical supply chains, ending Chinese support for Russia and Iran, and reaffirming U.S. support for Taiwan.\n\n\u201cWhen America leads from a position of strength, we can secure real results for the American people and the world,\u201d said Chairwoman Kim. \u201cPresident Trump has an opportunity to build on the progress we\u2019ve made while making clear that America is unwilling to compromise on the issues that threaten our security, our citizens, and our very way of life. This letter lays out concrete priorities and a clear path to do exactly that.\u201d\n\nThe letter builds on Chairwoman Kim\u2019s leadership on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she has held hearings on Beijing\u2019s role in the fentanyl crisis, China\u2019s chokehold on critical minerals, and U.S. policy toward Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. In May, she also urged President Trump to raise Pastor Ezra Jin\u2019s case directly with Xi Jinping, which the President did before Pastor Jin was released less than two months later.", 1, "2026-09-24T09:44:48Z", "2026-09-24T09:45:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://youngkim.house.gov/2026/09/23/rep-young-kim-leads-letter-to-president-trump-on-key-priorities-ahead-of-xi-jinping-summit/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9887140952050686, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
