I 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.
