The Trump administration on Tuesday plans to unveil new bans targeting imports of the latest Chinese robots and power inverters, seeking to protect the U.S. artificial intelligence supply chain from Chinese threats of disruption, data theft, and cyberattacks.
National Security Concerns
The Federal Communications Commission will roll out the measures, which bar Chinese imports of new humanoid and quadruped robots, as well as connected power inverters, which enable renewable energy sources and batteries to connect to grids and data center equipment.
According to an administration official, the President has made clear that the United States must have independent and secure supply chains for critical and emerging technologies like robotic devices and power inverters. The official stated that economic security is national security, and the Trump administration continues to implement a nuanced and multi-faceted policy agenda to reindustrialize America.
