US govt: Huawei is a national security risk and a menace, except, you know, when we need it for 5G standards work The US Commerce Department has confirmed it will publish a rule change to its crackdown on Huawei that will allow US companies to work with the Chinese equipment maker on 5G standards. And artificial intelligence. And autonomous vehicles. The rule has already been approved, and is due to be published in the Federal Register on …
We shall try to vote the OHSG out come this voting session and replace him with a less bone-headed, less brain-dead, less shit-flinging, less unmitigated skidmark shitstain on society.
Once that happens then perhaps the new POTUS can retract all the OHSGs protectionist policies, idiotic executive orders, and mind numbingly illogical rules so that you, we, and the rest of the world can get back to a less distopian, less rocky shoals and more calm waters, safer and saner way of life.
Please accept our heartfelt, sincerest, most humble apologies for those idiots whom voted him in and please pray the rest of us can convince the idiots in the halls of power that we absulutely _do_not_want_ him in any position other than as a diseased and diarreahtec camel pen shit cleaner. (With further apologies to the camels.)

Trump declares Huawei a security threat, but gets Australia to do its dirty work by threatening to stop sharing intelligence with Australia.
Never mind most of this intelligence is gathered from Joint Venture spy facilities in Australia, and the Navy using Darwin port in Australia.
Trump never was very clever, but seemingly more clever than Australian politicians, who continue to kotow to Trump
Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou remains under house arrest while fighting a rather dubious US extradition order. Canada remains unwilling to do anything that might upset The Donald.
Last month a Canadian court ruled that Meng 's alleged actions would have also been criminal in Canada, even though Canada is not part of the US embargo of Iran.

Huawei: This 5G tech miracle >slap!<
US: Uh.... This is crap, we'll bring you ours tomorrow

US: This is how it's done.
