U.S. military servicemembers may soon find garlic and seafood from China stripped off the shelves of their local military commissaries, in a move led by three Senate Republicans.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., put Chinese garlic on the military’s chopping block. He, along with Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., also want Chinese seafood tossed overboard.
The Senate’s fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, includes provisions that would declare war on all Chinese garlic fronts: fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, dehydrated, prepared by vinegar or acetic acid, or pressed into oil.
