International Live: US President Donald Trump on Saturday said America will not do any business with Chinese tech giant Huawei. The Trump administration believes that giving access to the state controlled Huawei on 5G would risk America’s national security.

As such the US is not only denying Huawei access inside the country but also is asking other countries to follow suit. “We’re not going to do business with Huawei. We’re not doing business with them. And I really made the decision,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“It’s much simpler not to do any business with Huawei. So, we’re not doing business with Huawei. That doesn’t mean we won’t agree to something if and when we make a trade deal, but we’re not going to be doing business with Huawei,” he added.

US Senator Marco Rubio said that, “Beyond fully and faithfully executing the laws passed by the Congress, the Executive Branch must work with Congress to do much more to defend America’s national and economic security from the Chinese government and Communist Party’s threats including keeping Huawei on the Entity List and not watering down enforcement through sweetheart licenses allowing the US tech sector to export to and build up Huawei,”.
