Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., argued on Tuesday that the U.S. should not share intelligence or equipment with countries that use Chinese 5G technology.

During Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Graham addressed the security threat posed by China. Graham said he hoped that “the policy of the United States, Democrats and Republicans, will be that if you buy their [China’s 5G] stuff, because of the way they do business, you’re going to lose access to information and technology coming from America.” Graham said “there’s no way in hell” that U.S. allies should be using 5G technology from Chinese companies.
