US Bans New Chinese Humanoid Robot Imports

The Trump administration is banning imports of new Chinese-made humanoid robots and power inverters, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed US officials. Officials said the move aims to shield America's expanding AI infrastructure from national security threats linked to Chinese technology entering supply chains. Officials also described the ban as a push to reshore manufacturing of robotics and power equipment inside the United States.
