A federal judge on Tuesday denied telecommunication giant Huawei’s claim that the restriction on its US business was unconstitutional.

The company alleged in its complaint that Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act violated its due process rights. The provision prohibits federal agencies and contractors from using Huawei and rival company ZTE’s products.

The decision by US District Judge Amos Mazzant contributes to the ongoing tensions between the US government and the Chinese company. Last year US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning private companies from using Huawei products, and last week a federal indictment was released alleging that the company has engaged in racketeering and conspired to steal US trade secrets.

In a bipartisan effort to prevent Huawei’s products from being integrated into 5G cellular networks, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) warned NATO allies that implementing the company’s products would be analogous to “sell[ing] the privacy of the people of [their] countr[ies] down the river.”
