US plans rules to target imports of Chinese drones, heavy-duty vehicles

The Trump administration plans to issue rules targeting imports of Chinese drones and medium and heavy-duty vehicles after an earlier crackdown on cars and trucks, citing national security concerns.

The U.S. Commerce Department said in a notice that plans to issue rules as soon as this month to address national security risks involving information and communications technology that are integral to drones and connected vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds from countries like China and other foreign adversaries.
