Congress Probes 'Trojan Horses' in US as Investigations Tied to China, Iran and Cuba Intensify
US Congress is investigating networks allegedly influenced by China, Iran, and Cuba, likening them to 'trojan horses' in America.
Congress is investigating alleged 'Trojan horses' in America, focusing on networks linked to China, Iran, and Cuba, amid concerns about potential foreign influence operations within the country's strategic military units and government agencies. The probe follows a panel discussion led by Christine Balling, a former advisor to U.S. Special Operations Command South, which warned of potential threats from foreign entities attempting to infiltrate and manipulate American institutions. As part of the inquiry, lawmakers are examining whether these networks have compromised national security or undermined democratic processes in the United States. The investigation aims to identify the scope and extent of these alleged influence operations and recommend measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
