Trump administration bans imports of Chinese-made humanoid robots

The Trump administration on Tuesday banned imports of advanced humanoid robots and connected power inverters, citing national security concerns over potential Chinese espionage and infrastructure vulnerabilities including possible blackouts. The restrictions target robotic devices such as mobile, humanoid, and quadruped robots, as well as power equipment frequently used in solar energy projects. U.S. officials said the foreign-made equipment poses risks to American security and critical infrastructure.
