Washington DCU.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday the United States would impose visa restrictions on Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd , which he accused of facilitating human right violations.

Pompeo also said that "Faster is always better to get this equipment out of their system. It's a security risk. This isn't about commercial interests.
