Emerging story

In late January 2021, Biden suspended former President Donald Trump’s regulation on bulk-power system electrical equipment. Trump’s order aimed to prevent the procurement, importation, installation, and/or transfer of bulk power electric equipment in any property where foreign countries may have an interest. 

IER posted an article on February 4 that reviewed this incident and claimed: “For Biden to revoke President Trump’s order means that he is not concerned about potential threats to the U.S. electric grid by China.”

Following this article, a power outage triggered an activist student group in Texas, Students for Trump, to hold Biden responsible for the outage. This group claims he gave China Communist Party access to the U.S power grid. 
The claim soon took off on social media.
