Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Thursday authored a bipartisan letter to President Donald Trump, sharing their concern that the U.S. Department of Commerce has begun issuing export licenses for U.S. companies to commence business with Huawei Technologies, disregarding the considerable risk these license approvals could create for security.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.democrats.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/leader-schumer-sen-cotton-lead-bipartisan-letter-to-president-trump-requesting-he-take-immediate-action-to-suspend-approval-of-licenses-that-allow-some-us-companies-to-do-business-with-huawei-\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The letter stated<\/a>: \u201cOn May 16, 2019, Huawei\u2014the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world\u2014and 68 of its affiliates were added to the Department of Commerces Entity List for reasons of national security. To date, the Entity List includes 115 Huawei companies. This designation serves to effectively prohibit the export and transfer of certain U.S. goods and technology to Huawei.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senators wrote that they are opposed to resuming business with Huawei, and the November decision by the Department of Commerce \u201cthat it would be extending the Temporary General License for U.S. companies engaged in specific business activity with Huawei.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They highlighted that approval of additional permanent licenses without assessment is a national security risk.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers are concerned that the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross \u201csaid previously that the Department will approve quite a few of the license requests that were received, of which there are nearly 300.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter pointed to the fact that President Trump has said himself that he does not want to do business with Huawei. They also pointed out that Huawei has ties to the Chinese Communist Party and \u201cthe Chinese government is thought to exercise considerable influence over Huawei, in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They stated issuing these licenses will create a serious threat to the telecommunication infrastructure as well as overall national security.<\/p>\n<p>The senators requested that, \u201cThe Department of Commerce suspend the granting of licenses to U.S. companies until providing Congress with a report outlining specific criteria for determining whether or not the approval of any license poses a national security threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senators also asked that, \u201cCongressional leadership and relevant committees be notified prior to the issuance of any licenses to U.S. firms to sell components to Huawei and its affiliates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials and experts have previously said Huaweis products could be used by the Chinese regime for spying or to disrupt communication networks due to the companys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/huaweis-former-ceo-worked-for-chinas-spy-agency-current-exec-admits_2959597.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">close ties with the Chinese military<\/a>.
