Letter first obtained by Scripps News: Congress wants William Burns and Antony Blinken to brief them on China's activities in Cuba by July 14.
Top Congressional leaders are calling on the CIA and the State Department to brief Congress amid growing concerns that China is building a spy facility in Cuba, according to a letter first obtained by Scripps News.
"It is imperative that we understand in full detail: the exact nature and objectives of the PRC’s intelligence gathering in Cuba and military partnership with the regime; the implications of such efforts for U.S. national interests; and what the Biden Administration is doing to mitigate such efforts and deter their further expansion with Cuba and the Western Hemisphere," the letter says.
Recently, the Biden administration revealed that China has had a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019, after initially denying its existence.
