United Kingdom MPs are pushing the government to officially acknowledge the security concerns tied to the country’s heavy reliance on foreign technology companies. This group of lawmakers, which includes Labour backbenchers and opposition representatives, sent a letter to Cabinet Office Minister Darren Jones to demand immediate action.
Per Politico, this move stems from growing friction in the relationship with the Trump administration. Tensions are rising as Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer continue to trade blows regarding the war in Iran. Many officials now fear that the current U.S. administration could leverage the dependence of other nations on American tech providers to exert geopolitical pressure.
