Trump blocks acquisition of equipment supplier Jupiter Systems by Hong Kong firm

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the prohibition of the acquisition of audio visual equipment supplier Jupiter Systems by Hong Kong company Suirui International, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement on Friday.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States reviewed and investigated the deal and "identified a national security risk arising from Suirui's ownership of Jupiter relating to the potential compromise of Jupiter's products used in military and critical infrastructure environments," the Treasury Department said.
