WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Communications ​Commission on Friday ‌said it will ban the import of equipment from ‌a ​group ⁠of Chinese manufacturers, ⁠the latest move by Washington to crack down ​on Chinese-made electronic gear.

The FCC ⁠in ⁠2022 previously barred ​approvals of new ​models of telecommunications and ‌video surveillance equipment made by Huawei, ZTE ⁠Hytera Hikvision and Dahua after adding them ⁠to ‌a list ⁠of companies posing ​U.S. ‌national security ​risks.

The ban ⁠will take effect in July.
