SHANGHAI/HONG KONG—The U.S. government has moved to block China Mobile from offering services to the country’s telecommunications market, recommending that its application be rejected because the firm posed national security risks.
The move by President Donald Trump’s administration comes amid growing trade frictions between Washington and Beijing. The United States is set to impose tariffs on $34 billion worth of goods from China on July 6, which Beijing is expected to respond to with tariffs of its own.
