Reps. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) are asking the Trump administration to blacklist Futurewei Technologies, treating it the same as the United States does Huawei, the Chinese tech giant blacklisted for national security reasons.

The March 5 letter follows a House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party probe into U.S.-based Futurewei last September, which the lawmakers said produced documentation that Futurewei is controlled by Huawei.
