Huawei Challenges Trump Claim of National Security Threat

Huawei Technologies Co. said the Trump administration’s decision late last year to label the giant Chinese telecommunications company a national security threat was unconstitutional and harmful to U.S. industry.
In a lawsuit filed Monday at the New Orleans Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Huawei said the Dec. 11 declaration by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission was arbitrary and capricious, exceeded its authority and violated federal rule-making procedures. Huawei also claims the FCC lacks “substantial evidence” and failed to give the company a chance to defend itself before the rule was finalized.
