If you are the owner of one of Huawei’s impressive smartphones, tablets or laptops and worried about whether it might have any use in the next few months
This news came as Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping met at the recent G20 summit in Osaka, Japan to discuss their ongoing trade disputes and come to some formal agreement for the future. And while nothing concrete has been signed, it does appear based on Trump’s comments at the summit (as shared by Business Insider), that he is willing to change his tone with China and some of their big tech companies, like Huawei.
I did agree to allow our companies — you know, jobs, I like our companies selling things to other people. So, I allowed that to happen. Very complex things. Not easy — this is not things that are easy to make. Very few companies are able to do it, but a tremendous amount of money. Our companies were very upset. These companies are great companies you know all of them. But they weren’t exactly happy with it. But we’re allowing that because that wasn’t national security… We’re allowing them to sell.
As with all things Trump says, his sentences are a little disjointed and not always easy to follow, but essentially what he is saying is that he has realised
This is ultimately not a go-ahead Huawei just yet, as Trump was speaking about Chinese companies and not Huawei specifically, though given the scale of US involvement with the big tech and telecommunications company, its likely this will include Huawei.
Having these companies working together is the best thing for consumers though given all the issues over the past few months I wouldn’t

Trump creates a disaster, Trump then rolls back his dumbass decisions and the disaster is averted.. idiot right wing nutjobs praise Trump for his presidential manner… this is the world we live in.
Not to mention that english tech writers now need to translate what the leader of an English speaking country is trying to say in his jabbering monkey talk… I still don´t quite understand mentally limited you need to be to think he’s doing a good job and is a decent person
For the Emperor!

Decent person? Never thought that*. But I said many times that this whole thing is a power-play in the trade war with China. Previous US Presidents basically “sold” US jobs to friends outside of the US, and Hillary wanted to continue that trend. Only Bernie and Trump promised to stop it, and that is what he is trying to deliver on. This type of thing is why so many Berny supporters voted for him and not Hillary (so it is not only right wing nutjobs who like this). Do I agree with the tactics? No. But he does seem like the first world leader in a long time at least TRYING to deliver on campaign promises, as misguided as his attempts may be.
*Personally I have thought for many years that he is a…well it starts with a D and ends with an S and has some O’s in it…with a very punch-able face…

Of course it’s a power play, but all he’s doing is playing. He has no idea what he is doing and every time he tries to make a decision he instantly has to back track on it due to it not being workable or legal.

Well when people don’t know what you’re saying, it is easier to later say “No that is not what I said” and not be held accountable because, well, we just assumed. Right?
