As trade tensions continue between America and China, the Trump administration is seeking to deny access for state-owned China Mobile in the US, citing national security fears. China Mobile, one of the world's largest phone carriers, applied to the US Federal Communications Commission in 2011 for a licence. However, the US Department of Commerce has recommended the request be denied. In April, the Commerce Department found that the Chinese state-owned technology giant ZTE had violated trade bans with North Korea and Iran. The Chinese government said it would not comment on individual cases.
