President Joe Biden’s secretary of the Army said solar panels installed at Fort Bragg were “probably made in China,” where top solar companies are known to use slave labor.
Army secretary Christine Wormuth made the shocking admission during a Wednesday House Armed Services Committee hearing. While the Biden nominee said she did not know exactly where a solar panel system installed last year at Fort Bragg came from, she assumed the panels came from China, because “many solar panels” are made there. “I would imagine, given that most solar panels are made in China, there’s a good chance that those panels were made in China,” Wormuth said. “Since most panels are made in China, they’re probably made in China.”
