WASHINGTON/NEW YORK -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order that prohibits U.S. companies from using foreign information technology and services deemed a national security risk, paving the way for a total ban on doing business with Chinese telecom company Huawei Technologies.
The move significantly ratchets up American pressure on China on at least two fronts -- security and trade. Beijing earlier this month reneged on concessions it had made during five months of trade negotiations with the U.S.
