The US Senate voted Monday to reinstate tough penalties against ZTE, rejecting President Donald Trump's efforts to allow the Chinese telecom giant to resume business with US suppliers.

The measure, part of a military spending bill called the National Defense Authorization Act, was passed by the Senate by a vote of 85 to 10. The provision undoes a deal the US Commerce Department struck earlier this month for ZTE to pay a $1 billion penalty to the US, setting the stage for a fight with the White House.
