US forces divestment by China-linked firm of property near Wyoming airbase

The White House on Monday announced it was forcing a Chinese-linked company and its partners to sell property they had bought near a US Air Force base in Wyoming, citing national security risks posed by the deal.

MineOne Partners Limited, which is owned by Chinese nationals, partnered with other companies to buy property for cryptocurrency mining, the White House said.
The property is located within 1 mile (1.6km) of Wyoming-based Francis E Warren Air Force Base, a strategic missile base that is home to part of the US arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
