First of all: This is not about "banning" Huawei in USA. Huawei is not in the US. It is about preventing the rest of the world in using Huawei.
The Trump administration has spent the last year or so trying to convince allies not to use Huawei and apparently has failed to do so. So now it does this.
Trump seems to think he can win an election on China; this may be the case. However doing so will probably hurt the longterm interest of the US.
Forcing millions of European Huawei users away from Google services is neither in the business interest of Google nor does it benefit the intelligence gathering capabilities of the US.
- elp 7y agoI don't think the President realizes just how much this will harm the USA in the long run. He is basically telling the rest of the world to think long and hard before using any American tech in their products. Also his allies are increasingly less and less inclined to listen to him. The French have openly said they will continue to use Huawei. The Brits are going to use them anyway, the just didn't want the USA to know. Edit: sorry. toned down the language.
