US Lawmakers Urge Closing Loopholes Allowing Support to Chinese, Russian Intelligence
US lawmakers from both parties have urged the Trump administration to close legal loopholes allowing American citizens and companies to support Chinese and Russian civilian intelligence agencies. While a 2018 law banned aid to foreign military intelligence, civilian agencies remain less regulated. Senators Ron Wyden and John Cornyn highlighted concerns that foreign agencies can legally hire US consultants and access advanced technology, potentially threatening US national security ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's planned visit.
