“How much do we know about Elaine Chao?”
“Chao’s father and sisters own a shipping company called Foremost Group, which has a fleet of foreign-flagged ships that transport materials to and from China. The committee cited reports that she allegedly used her role in the U.S. government to boost the company’s status, which federal regulations prohibit. It cited 2018 and 2019 budget requests in which her department wanted to cut millions of dollars from programs that support U.S. ships and shipbuilders. The committee believes such decisions could have been made to benefit Foremost Group.”
