Huawei asks US court to overturn ban as national security threat
San Francisco: Chinese conglomerate Huawei has reached a court in the US, demanding it to overturn the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) decision to designate the company as a national security threat. In 2019, the FCC voted to prevent US companies from doing business with Huawei and ZTE on national security concerns.
The FCC finalised the ban in December 2020, supported by former President Donald Trump."The order on review potentially impacts the financial interests of the telecommunications industry as a whole," Huawei said in its court filing, reports The Verge.
An FCC spokesperson said: "Last year, the FCC issued a final designation identifying Huawei as a national security threat based on a substantial body of evidence developed by the FCC and numerous US national security agencies.
