US Must Limit Intel-Sharing With Spain Over Huawei Concern, Cotton Says

The US should pull back on sharing intelligence with Spain, given that the country allegedly relies on Chinese network vendor Huawei Technologies Co. to support its wiretap system, according to the heads of the House and Senate intelligence committees.

Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Rick Crawford, both of Arkansas, wrote to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday, citing reporting by Spanish news outlet The Objective that said the country’s interior ministry paid Huawei €12.3 million ($14.6 million) to store and manage judicial wiretaps.
