It is unclear what legislation Rubio would pursue or whether Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer would support it.

The Trump administration could lift a ban on U.S. companies selling to ZTE and instead push for fines and management changes, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., pushes for congressional action related to ZTE after the Trump administration reportedly reached the framework of a deal to revive the company.

Sen. Marco Rubio said Tuesday he would push for "veto-proof congressional action" to check the Trump administration's reported deal to save Chinese telecommunications company ZTE. Hours later, the Senate Banking Committee separately approved an amendment proposed by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., to limit President Donald Trump's ability to remove sanctions on any Chinese telecommunications company. It passed through the panel easily by a 23 to 2 margin in a bipartisan rebuke to the administration's possible plans. Washington and Beijing have discussed the framework of a deal for the U.S. to lift the ban on American companies selling goods to the company in favor of possible management changes and fines, according to The Wall Street Journal. China could also remove tariffs on billions of dollars of U.S. agricultural products, the newspaper reported. In a statement following the vote Tuesday, Van Hollen said "we must continue to work to stop the President from absolving ZTE of its many transgressions in the interest of Chinese jobs." Rubio, a Florida Republican, has vocally opposed Trump's push to save ZTE in recent weeks. He has called the company's products a national security and surveillance risk.
