The House Appropriations Committee on Thursday unanimously approved an amendment to a bill that would uphold sanctions against ZTE, rejecting President Donald Trump's defense of the embattled Chinese phone maker.

This amendment will "prevent a foreign company that is beholden to its government – and that ignores embargoes – from infiltrating the devices and networks that are now indispensable to American life," Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Maryland), the amendment's author, said in a statement.
