CEO: FedEx cannot be US govt's policeman

As FedEx Corp faces pressure after mishandling packages involving China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the US company has sued the US government, claiming that it is "a transportation company, not a law enforcement agency."

FedEx filed a suit on Monday in US District Court in Washington DC, seeking to enjoin the US Department of Commerce from enforcing prohibitions contained in the Export Administration Regulations, also known as the EAR.

Frederick W. Smith, the company's CEO and chairman, told Fox News that FedEx cannot be the US government's policeman for export and import controls.
