An affiliate of Sany Group, China's biggest machinery maker, urged a United States judge to consider its lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's decision to block a corporate transaction on national security grounds.

Lawyers for Ralls Corp told US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson during a hearing on Wednesday that Obama violated the company's constitutional rights by shutting down a planned Oregon wind-farm project without explanation or any opportunity to seek to change the president's mind.
