The U.S. government has asked Chinese mobile and telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. to declare whether it’s sending U.S. technology to rogue nations including Syria, Iran, North Korea and Cuba, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Department of Commerce has issued an administrative subpoena to the company’s U.S. operations, based in Plano, Texas, said the people, who asked not to be identified speaking about the confidential probe.
