The documents do not confirm those ties, the Times reported. The NSA was also interested in tapping into Huawei’s extensive networks, enabling it to monitor communications of Huawei customers in other countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya, and Cuba. It was unclear from the Times report if those surveillance efforts were followed through on. The surveillance program, dubbed ‘Shotgiant,’ was also reported by the German publication Der Spiegel.”
