- The U.S. government will no longer have any dealings with Chinese telecom giant Huawei, Trump said, adding he’s not ready for a trade deal with China.
- “We are not going to do business with Huawei. ... And I really made the decision. It’s much simpler not doing any business with Huawei. ... That doesn’t mean we won’t agree to something if and when we make a trade deal,” Trump said.
- The move on Huawei came after China halted buying American agricultural products in retaliation for Trump’s surprise tariffs threat last week.
