The letter led by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty to the Commerce, State and Treasury departments said Chinese cloud computing companies “are increasingly engaging with foreign entities — in some cases sanctioned foreign entities — that are directly challenging the national security and economic security interests of the United States and our allies and partners.” Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
