The Trump administration has an executive order in the works that would ban the use of equipment from Chinese vendors in U.S. telecom networks, according to published reports. It could be signed as soon as this week.
Politico cited three anonymous sources, including one “close to the administration” as well as an industry source familiar with the matter. The latter told Politico that there is “a big push to get it out before MWC,” sending a message to the international telecommunications industry ahead of the year’s biggest conference.
