The Trump administration is threatening to withhold intelligence from Germany if the country does not drop a potential contract with Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei.
The Wall Street Journal obtained a letter dated Friday from U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell to Germany's economics minister saying that intelligence sharing would be limited if Huawei or other Chinese vendors are allowed to participate in building Germany's 5G network.

Merkel is infected with NeverTrumpism. It makes her do the opposite of what Trump says.
Germany should tell the US to go stuff itself.
Anon, what do you think Germany has been doing since Trump won?
Actually, this describes the Dems here in the US perfectly. Now, they will make piss poor decisions because of their hatred. And that really stinks for everyone.
