Kudlow: US sales to Huawei won’t imperil national security

WASHINGTON: White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow says President Donald Trump won’t back off national security concerns after agreeing to allow U.S. companies to sell some components to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei (WAH’-way).

Kudlow tells “Fox News Sunday” and CBS’ “Face the Nation” that Huawei will remain on an American blacklist as a potential security threat. He says any additional U.S. licensing “will be for what we call general merchandise, not national security sensitive,” such as chips and software generally available around the world.
