I think the recent executive order was explicitly for Huawei, which is troubling because the executive branch is targeting not a country, but a specific country. It's likely Apple or Samsung's US dept might have specifically lobbied for this (although we won't know; it's speculative and potentially unethical). I have a feeling Microsoft, Google, Intel and others will take this to court though. They literally stand to lose hundreds of millions, each!
