Biden calls for protecting submarine cables from Russia and China
A group of US lawmakers sent a letter to US President Joe Biden and expressed deep concerns about the security of global undersea energy and communications cables. RIA Novosti writes about this.
Policymakers say the cables play a critical role in the economic and national security of the United States and its allies and partners.
They accused Russia and China: “Our adversaries continue to develop the ability to attack or destabilize critical undersea infrastructure.” According to parliamentarians, such actions are often carried out in the early stages of a conflict. Biden calls for protecting undersea cables
