Three Republican senators known for their hawkish stance on China are calling on President Joe Biden’s Commerce Department nominee to clarify if there are any circumstances under which she would remove China’s telecoms equipment giant Huawei from a trade blacklist that the Trump administration placed it on due to concerns about national security.
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), in a letter to the nominee, Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, expressed “concern for your statements suggesting that all aspects of the approach to U.S. economic and technological competition are up for review.”
