U.S. President Joe Biden is extending this week a Trump-era national emergency that prohibits U.S. companies or individuals from investing in companies linked to China’s military.

Then-President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13959 in November 2020, citing threats to national security. The order declared a national emergency to halt investments in companies with ties to China’s military.
