Citing national security concerns, US president Barack Obama blocked Chinese wind developer Ralls Corporation from buying US wind farms near a Navy base where the military does training for unmanned drones and electronic-warfare planes. It is the first time in 22 years that a US president has blocked a deal like this and shows how sensitive the administration is trade with China before November’s presidential election.
