US regulator bans imports of new foreign-made routers, citing security concerns - Reuters

A U.S. regulator has issued a ban on imports of new foreign-made routers, citing national security risks as the justification. The move reflects broader concerns within the Trump administration about potential vulnerabilities in networking equipment that could be exploited by hostile actors or used for surveillance. Router imports are critical to U.S. telecommunications infrastructure, making this restriction significant for both consumer technology and enterprise networks. The ban aims to protect domestic security by limiting reliance on foreign hardware that could pose cybersecurity threats. The action is part of a wider push by the administration to strengthen supply chain security in essential technology sectors.
