President Donald Trump on May 29 said that his administration will take action to counter Chinese state-sponsored intellectual property theft at U.S. research and academic institutions.

Trump said he would issue a proclamation today “to better secure our nation’s vital university research, and to suspend the entry of certain foreign nationals from China, who we have identified as potential security risks.”
