特朗普政府周二宣布禁止新的外国制造人形机器人进口美国，声称存在"不可接受的"国家安全风险[1]。这项禁令涵盖人形机器人和四足机器人等先进机器人设备，其中许多由中国制造[1]。同时，联邦通信委员会也禁止了数据中心和太阳能电池板中使用的电源逆变器进口，理由是这些产品对美国经济构成风险[1]。
联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔表示该机构在为"确保美国关键供应链的安全"做出努力[1]。该机构担忧外国制造的逆变器可能被海外公司关闭、窃取数据、便于远程访问和监视[1]，而外国制造的机器人则可能被用于监视美国人、增强外国情报机构能力或实现远程控制[1]。该禁令不影响联邦通信委员会之前授权的现有型号的销售或进口[1]。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特警告，中国人工智能公司可能因盗窃美国知识产权而面临制裁[1]。
The Trump administration announced on Tuesday a prohibition on importing newly manufactured foreign humanoid robots into the United States, citing "unacceptable" national security risks [1]. The ban extends to advanced robotic systems including humanoid and quadrupedal models, many of which are produced in China [1]. Simultaneously, the Federal Communications Commission imposed restrictions on power inverters used in data centers and solar panels, asserting that these devices similarly pose risks to the nation [1].
FCC Chair Brendan Carr stated that the agency is working to "ensure the security of critical supply chains for America" [1]. The restrictions apply to newly produced foreign-manufactured advanced robotic equipment and power inverters, though they do not affect the sale or importation of previously authorized existing models [1]. Officials expressed concern that foreign-manufactured inverters could be remotely disabled by overseas companies, facilitate data theft, enable unauthorized access, and support surveillance operations [1]. Similarly, foreign-made robots could potentially be deployed for monitoring Americans, enhancing foreign intelligence capabilities, or enabling remote manipulation [1]. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that Chinese AI companies may face sanctions for allegedly stealing American intellectual property [1].
