Trump Administration Drafting Ban on Chinese Data Center Devices, Reuters Says

The Trump administration is drafting a ban on U.S. imports of new models of Chinese data center components, Reuters reports, citing four people familiar with the matter. The Federal Communications Commission is working on the measure to restrict Chinese optical transceivers used to move data through fiber in data centers. Officials aim to publish the rule this year, potentially taking effect later. The move targets risks including data theft, malware installation, or disruption of service, amid broader efforts to secure the AI supply chain.
