From Global News
U.S. President Donald Trump is considering an executive order in the new year to declare a national emergency that would bar U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by China’s Huawei and ZTE, three sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.
It would be the latest step by the Trump administration to cut Huawei Technologies Cos Ltd [HWT.UL] and ZTE Corp, two of China’s biggest network equipment companies, out of the U.S. market. The United States alleges that the two companies work at the behest of the Chinese government and that their equipment could be used to spy on Americans.
The executive order, which has been under consideration for more than eight months, could be issued as early as January and would direct the Commerce Department to block U.S. companies from buying equipment from foreign telecommunications makers that pose significant national security risks, sources from the telecoms industry and the administration said.
While the order is unlikely to name Huawei or ZTE, a source said it is expected that Commerce officials would interpret it as authorization to limit the spread of equipment made by the two companies. The sources said the text for the order has not been finalized.
COMMENT:-
If the concerns of the Rural Wireless Association are justified, then the US will experience a significant boost to its GDP because of all of the money that has to be spent ripping out and replacing their equipment.
This is what is known as a "Good Thing For The American Economy" since the Chinese will have to pay for it.
Right?
PS - Did you know that the fact that no one can find any hidden secret stuff in the Huawei and/or ZTE equipment absolutely **P*R*O*V*E*S** that that secret stuff is hidden in the Huawei and/or ZTE equipment?
