WestVirginiaRebel Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 CNBC President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared a national emergency over threats against American technology, the White House said. The move, done via executive order, authorized the Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, in consultation with other top officials, to block transactions that involve information or communications technology that “poses an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.” Following the order, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the addition of Huawei Technologies and its affiliates to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List, making it more difficult for the Chinese telecom giant to conduct business with U.S. companies. The addition means that U.S. companies cannot sell or transfer technology to Huawei without a license issued by the BIS. That could make it harder for Huawei to do business, as it depends on some U.S. suppliers for parts. ________ Foreign tech war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
