US President Joe Biden has ordered a Chinese-owned cryptocurrency miner and its partners to sell land they own near a US nuclear missile base.

MineOne Partners has been given 120 days to sell the property, where it runs a crypto-mining operation.

The land is less than a mile away from an air force base in Wyoming, where intercontinental ballistic missiles are stored.
