Two Republican senators are warning that companies with ties to America’s foreign adversaries, specifically Kremlin and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), shouldn’t be allowed to buy Forbes.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Aug. 8, Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) asked her to conduct a review of the planned Forbes acquisition “without delay,” saying that actions are needed to protect U.S. national security.
