Trump reversed course on Huawei. What happens now?
Six weeks after Huawei was blacklisted by the US government, President Donald Trump had what the Chinese telecom firm described as a "U-turn." Trump said Saturday that "US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei," allowing the transactions won't present a "great, national emergency problem."
Trump's comments at the G20 in Japan came after a widely anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jingping. The two sides met to discuss the impasse in the trade dispute, and Huawei, one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world, has become a flash point in the battle.
In May, the US Commerce Department banned sales of American-made goods to Huawei without first obtaining a license. US officials have accused the company of working to undermine US national security and foreign policy interests. Trump said Huawei was still part of the ongoing trade discussions between Washington and Beijing, but for now, he would move to resume allowing US companies to sell parts to the Chinese firm.
Also at Android Authority and Business Insider:
President Trump has said US firms can continue selling to Huawei, apparently contradicting a Commerce Department trade blacklist on the Chinese tech firm.

Or more accurately: The orange pedophile has talked out of his ass again.
He invoked national security to justify the Huawei ban, but now, somehow, they are no longer a security risk ?
Of course, trumptard apologists will soon be filling this thread with more of their desperate attemps at polishing that turd. Oh, and also downmodding this post to hell, those great defenders of freedom of speech...

Probably Xi Jingping reassured Trump that China has no intention to spy using Huawei phones. :-)

No, I downmodded you for using the words, "orange pedophile," and, "trumptard," which are stupid characterizations that undermines the rest of your well-made point and makes the rest harder to agree with instead of easier. And you have the right to say those words, just as I have the right to downmod you into oblivion and hopes that someone else posts the same content without the insults.
