WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill on Feb. 5 that would reimpose sanctions on ZTE Corp if the Chinese telecommunications firm fails to live up to U.S. laws and an agreement with the Trump administration.

In July 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump decided to lift a ban on U.S. companies selling to ZTE, allowing the Chinese company to resume business.
