Huawei Asks Court to Overturn U.S. Designation as National Security Threat

Huawei is asking for the Federal Communications Commission’s designation of the Chinese telecommunications giant as a national security threat to be overturned by a U.S. court. In a case filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the company argued that the agency overstepped its authority by finalizing a ban on U.S. companies from using the FCC’s Universal Service Fund to purchase Huawei equipment in December.
