Not sure how painful this really is for huawei, seems more optics than substance. More substantive would be blocking us firms from selling components to huawei and zte https://t.co/k1zNFC5g2x

Two interesting things from the Times' story (https://t.co/RU1qyqQAQ1):

* Trump has apparently been "deeply involved" in crafting the EO and considering different versions

* Some European officials think Trump will weaken his own EO to get trade concessions from Beijing pic.twitter.com/Pw0WAOhglG

I commend @realDonaldTrump for taking steps to secure next-gen telecom infrastructure. Shielding #5G networks from @Huawei’s threat is critical & I urge POTUS to use these new authorities as necessary to ensure our networks are protected. https://t.co/zUnl4FxFZJ via @whitehouse

Trump’s new order directs the commerce secretary to develop an enforcement plan & allows him to ID companies or specific types of tech that could be prohibited from US networks.

Analysts anticipate it will invite court challenges from companies who think the order is too broad.

China is not our friend & we cannot take any risks with our national security.

Glad we’re finally taking a stand. The President is right to take the steps necessary to create a pathway for a ban on Huawei. U.S. companies shouldn't use telecom services from a foreign adversary. https://t.co/1L9u2l1Du4

"With this listing, Google would be barred from exporting Android to Huawei unless it got a waiver from the Commerce Department. The chips in the phones are also made by U.S. companies, which would need waivers to sell to Huawei, the official said." https://t.co/KI8AOOk2P7

"Trump’s executive order does not immediately exclude specific firms (e.g. Huawei) or countries, ... but it's consistent w/ his aggressive tack against China in which he has used tariffs as economic weapons, a tactic that he believes to be popular with his political base."

As this story balloons, take a moment and notice how much solid, public evidence is actually provided to justify the move.

And how few outlets acknowledge a portion of this could be driven by US companies that don't want to compete with cheaper overseas gear. https://t.co/1HYR2lnmd6

President Trump has issued an executive order declaring a national emergency & prohibiting U.S. companies from using telecom services that are solely owned, controlled, or directed by a foreign adversary, clearing the way for a ban on Chinese-owned Huawei https://t.co/MgoV41I1gI

No mention of China or Huawei in Trump executive order declaring national emergency "with respect to the threats against information and communications technology and services in the United States." It allows Commerce to block transactions.

Senator Ben Sasse said, “Huawei’s supply chain depends on contracts with American companies” and he urged the Commerce Department to look “at how we can effectively disrupt our adversary.” https://t.co/0RNfn4JSkv

Huawei CEO to me in Feb. on possibility of US ban: “we have never had any sales in the US. They say we are in danger the national security of US. We don't even have equipment there. How can we do that?” He went on to thank Trump “for the publicity”. https://t.co/75dokLc2lQ

Trump's order was expected a year ago. What helped break the logjam? The National Economic Council, which had blocked the move for months, dropped its objection as trade talks hit an impasse, one official said. https://t.co/o76plwrRSC

If US interprets ban broadly to include EDA tools, then 华为 designing chips in-house would also become very difficult. German-owned Mentor Graphics might try 2 argue that they do not fall under ban but wld be politically costly tactichttps://t.co/p76W11zs1z

Striking that Huawei has been building up a strategic reserve of key inputs, since just after Meng Wanzhou was arrested, b/c it was planning ahead for this day. Curious how many Western MNCs have similar long term political risk contingency plans in place https://t.co/fGB8qP2Awv
