Trump puts Huawei on the table as part of US-China trade deal
President Trump says Huawei could be included in a U.S.-China trade deal.
President Trump on Thursday said Huawei Technologies could be part of a trade agreement between China and the United States.
“If we made a deal, I could imagine Huawei possibly included in some form of or some part a trade deal,” Trump told reporters.
The Trump administration initially held off from labeling the Chinese technology giant as a security issue instead saying it was more of a trade concern but now it seems that position appears to be reversed.
“Huawei is something that’s very dangerous,” Trump said. “You look at what they done from a security standpoint, from a military standpoint, it’s very dangerous.”
When asked how he would incorporate Huawei into a trade deal, Trump said, “It’s too early to say.”
