The Trump administration is urging U.S. companies to remove untrusted Chinese apps from mobile phone downloads and prevent their apps from being featured in Chinese telecom app stores, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, citing risks to Americans' security. Speaking with reporters, Pompeo said the push is part of the State Department’s “clean networks” initiative that is warning American companies from doing business with Chinese businesses connected to Beijing.
