President Donald Trump agreed Saturday to lift some restrictions against US companies selling high-tech gear to Chinese telecom giant Huawei, says a report. "We're talking about equipment where there's not a great national-emergency problem with it," Trump said after a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to The Wall Street Journal.

In May, Trump signed an executive order essentially banning Huawei because of national security concerns that the company is too closely tied to the Chinese government and that its gear could be used to spy on other countries and companies. Huawei has repeatedly said those fears are unfounded.

The easing of restrictions is part of a general cease fire on trade reached between Trump and Xi during a meeting on the sidelines of a Group 20 meeting. Trump said the deal to restart talks would see the US delaying added tariffs on Chinese products in return for China buying American farm goods.

This, is a matter of some controversy:

If President Trump has in fact bargained away the recent restrictions on #Huawei, then we will have to get those restrictions put back in place through legislation.

And it will pass with a large veto proof majority.

Q:Are you taking #Huawei off entity list?
 
@POTUS:“No,not at all. No,no...,but we are going to be supplying equipment from our companies...”

Does this mean continuation of current policy? Huawei on Entity List but allow U.S. export of very specific non-critical components?

Point of contention right now, we will see how this develops.

If so, it's quintessential Trump; yapping his way
in, out and back into trouble in the same sentence.
Lord have Mercy; 17 more months of this buffoon!

When Trumpet is involved, it's complicated. Yet my sense is that
here is another daily dose of his bullshit!

I had a great meeting with President Xi of China yesterday, far better than expected. I agreed not to increase the already existing Tariffs that we charge China while we continue to negotiate. China has agreed that, during the negotiation, they will begin purchasing large.....


....amounts of agricultural product from our great Farmers. At the request of our High Tech companies, and President Xi, I agreed to allow Chinese company Huawei to buy product from them which will not impact our  National Security. Importantly, we have opened up negotiations...


....again with China as our relationship with them continues to be a very good one. The quality of the transaction is far more important to me than speed. I am in no hurry, but things look very good! There will be no reduction in the Tariffs currently being charged to China.

Your "sense" without the facts is ludicrous.
