Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has issued about $2.6 billion in bonds to refinance debt tied to its $14 billion Juniper Networks takeover. But the financing move comes under a cloud of controversy.

Months later, the agency reversed course—after reported pressure from U.S. intelligence and the Trump White House, which argued the deal was vital to counter China’s Huawei.
