Sooo... the Export-Import bank is part of the Biden administration?
No?
https://www.exim.gov/about
"EXIM is an independent Executive Branch agency with a mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services. When private sector lenders are unable or unwilling to provide financing, EXIM fills in the gap for American businesses by equipping them with the financing tools necessary to compete for global sales."
Well, clearly they're doing it on behalf of Biden then...
No?
https://www.exim.gov/news/statement-export-import-bank-united-states-president-and-chair-lewis-president-bidens-launch
"As an independent federal agency, EXIM contributes to U.S. economic growth by supporting tens of thousands of jobs in exporting businesses and their supply chains across the United States. Since 1992, EXIM has generated more than $9 billion for the U.S. Treasury for repayment of U.S. debt."
Then what does this have to do with Biden?
Unsurprisingly, crickets.
Consider the enabling of disinformation that is going on here, (as if you weren't already.)
Seems like a plausible deniabilty thing
