Trump to declare emergency ban on Beijing ‘spy firms’
President Trump is preparing to declare a national emergency and outlaw two of China’s biggest telecoms companies over claims that they are being used to spy on America. An executive order is said to have been drafted for Mr Trump which, if signed in the new year, will prohibit Huawei and ZTE from doing business in the US.
There are growing concerns in the West about Beijing’s use of the two companies’ products to spy on foreign powers. Gavin Williamson, the British defence secretary, has said he has “very deep concerns” about Huawei’s involvement in the UK’s 5G network.
The executive order is said to have been under consideration for months as the Five Eyes intelligence network — the US, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and Australia — debates how to deal with espionage. New Zealand and Australia have already banned the company from their 5G projects, and the US blocks them from government contracts........
Mr Trump can invoke the ban without a bill in Congress through a law that allows the president to implement trade restrictions during a national emergency. The executive order does not mention the Chinese companies by name but commerce officials spoken to by the Reuters news agency said they were believed to be the target.
Such a move could win support in Congress. Mark Warner, a Democratic senator who is critical of the Chinese tech companies, told The Times there was “ample evidence to suggest that no major Chinese company is independent of the Chinese government and Communist Party. It has been clear for some time that Huawei and ZTE pose threats to our national security.”
In October, Mr Warner and Marco Rubio, the Republican senator for Florida, urged Justin Trudeau to ban Huawei sales in Canada.......
