Sen. Marco Rubio is calling out Apple for considering a purchase of phone memory chips from a Chinese state-owned supplier that he says would be disastrous for American tech leadership and national security.

The Florida Republican warned Apple CEO Tim Cook in a letter Thursday against striking a deal with Chinese chip manufacturer Yangtze Memory, which is funded by the Chinese Communist Party and has extensive links to the Chinese military, the People’s Liberation Army.
