the humanoid trade war just started.
FCC banned new foreign-made robots from the US market. we're protecting the domestic base rather than outcompeting, not my preference, but it's the reality.
if this holds, stateside robot manufacturing is about to go vertical.

NEW
The FCC has now added two new categories of devices to our Covered List, which bans new versions from import or sale in America.
1. Advanced robotic devices, such as humanoids and quadrupeds produced in foreign countries.
2. Power inverters produced in foreign countries.
This action follows determinations by Executive Branch nat sec agencies that the devices pose unacceptable risks to our national security.
It includes exemptions for devices that, based on a DOW or DHS finding, pose no unacceptable threat.
