WASHINGTON: The Trump administration plans to finalize regulations this week that will bar the US government from buying goods or services from any company that uses products from five Chinese companies including Huawei, Hikvision and Dahua, a US official said.

Amazon's cloud unit is a major contractor with the US intelligence community, and it has been battling Microsoft Corp for an up to US$10 billion cloud computing deal with the Pentagon.
