US Bans Foreign-Made Humanoid Robots Citing National Security Concerns

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has prohibited the import of new foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots, as well as power inverters, citing national security risks. This measure specifically targets China and is expected to strain U.S.-China relations ahead of a planned meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in September. The ban aims to secure critical American supply chains from potential threats.
