New order is an effort to make a similar Trump\u002Dera prohibition more legally sound

“We fully expect that in the months ahead … we’ll be adding additional companies to the new executive order’s restrictions,” an official said. The move is part of a broader series of steps to counter China, including reinforcing U.S. alliances and pursuing large domestic investments to bolster U.S. economic competitiveness, amid increasingly sour relations between the world’s two most powerful countries.
