US Trade Representative shuts down GOP congressman's sexist comment.
During a House hearing on the Biden administration's trade agenda, Republican Congressman Greg Murphy told US trade negotiator Katherine Tai that she was "too nice" to do her job and had "too nice a smile." Tai, who has negotiated with China and argued cases before the World Trade Organization, made it clear she was not going to tolerate Murphy's assessment. Murphy criticized trade policy in the Biden administration, calling the Paris climate agreement and "green things" distractions that he argued keep the United States from competing with China.
