Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Thursday decried the Trump administration’s deal to revive ZTE, warning that the Chinese telecommunications company is a “greater national security threat” than the steel or aluminum that is subject to new U.S. tariffs.
“This ‘deal’ with #ZTE may keep them from selling to Iran and North Korea. That’s good. But it will do nothing to keep us safe from corporate & national security espionage. That is dangerous. Now Congress will need to act to keep America safe from #China,” Rubio tweeted.
“I assure you with 100% confidence that #ZTE is a much greater national security threat than steel from Argentina or Europe,” he added, taking a swipe at the administration’s reasoning for imposing steep tariffs on U.S. allies.
