President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared a national emergency over threats against American technology, the White House said.

The move is expected to precede a ban on U.S. firms doing business with the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei. 

"The President has made it clear that this Administration will do what it takes to keep America safe and prosperous, and to protect America from foreign adversaries who are actively and increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in information and communications technology infrastructure and services in the United States," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote in a statement.
