I think this is immensely unfair - you cite one deal that got a lot of press due to a series of unexpected about-faces in the US position. There’s no reason to believe that agreements of this nature are made but not publicized.
Also, I'm not sure I understand how this action relates to the sanctions placed on Iran. What is your reasoning?
- djrogers 8y agoI used the term sanctions in the broad sense when I could have used a more specific term, but I was referring to the trade and technology transfer restrictions (which fall under the generic umbrella of sanctions) that ZTE violated.
