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.

TPP: Trump is inserting provisions from the TPP into the NAFTA renegotiation.
Yemen: Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have ended the US's support of Saudi Arabia's genocide in Yemen.
War: Trump occasionally spewed anti-war rhetoric on the campaign trail, but the cuck seems to have no intention of actually getting us out of any of the wars or "interventions."
NSA: Trump hasn't ended the NSA's unconstitutional mass surveillance programs or even really tried, despite whining about how he might have been spied on. I guess it only matters to the extent that it affects him. Typical.
TSA: The TSA is a huge invasion of people's privacy, a violation of the Constitution, and a general waste of money. Yet, despite claiming to want to get rid of "regulations" and waste, Trump certainly doesn't seem to intend to end the TSA.
So, Trump is just a typical authoritarian politician, plus mean tweets. He's the establishment's bitch boy.
