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

WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - 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.
