The Trump administration has reportedly suspended licenses for U.S. nuclear equipment suppliers to sell to China, a significant escalation in the ongoing trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The move, reported by Reuters on Friday, targets parts and equipment used to build nuclear power plants, further tightening export restrictions on Beijing.

According to anonymous sources cited by Reuters , the U.S. Department of Commerce halted these licenses this week.
