> Japan and Australia have essentially closed ranks with the U.S., and the Donald Trump administration is pressuring Britain, Germany and France to do the same -- reportedly going so far as to threaten to withhold important security information if they refuse. Australia cut off Huawei first way back in 2012/2013 when they locked the company out of Australia's 5G network. I'm no fan of Trump but I don't see how it's relevant to bring his name into this. This would have mostly likely been US policy under a democrat administration as well. Who wants to bet in 10 years we'll find leaked documents showing Apple and Samsung US lobbied the commerce department for this? Who wants to bet Intel, Microsoft and Google are about to sue because they're about to lose a few hundred million a peace? I'm curious if we'll see a Federal Court case on this within the next three months.
