United States Ambassador Benjamin Leon warned Spain on Wednesday afternoon to restrict China from defense, data, and telecommunications sectors. The warning follows Spanish contracts awarded to firms linked to Huawei, which Leon claims risks national security. Failure to secure these sectors could disrupt intelligence sharing and military cooperation between the two NATO allies.
