Trump on Huawei: ‘I Don’t Want To Do Business at All ‘ with Them ‘Because It Is a National Security Threat’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "No, that was reported and actually it’s the opposite, Huawei, Huawei is a company we may not do business with at all and it was sort of reported I think the opposite today, I was surprised, that we are open to doing business. We're actually open not to doing business with them, so I don’t know who gave the report. Now, they have little sections of Huawei like furniture and other things that we could do, but when you cut out sections, it gets very complicated, what's being sold, what’s coming in. So at this moment it looks much more like we're not going to do business. I don’t want to do business at all because it is a national security threat and I really believe that the media has covered it a little bit differently than that, so we're really looking not to do business with Huawei and we're actually talking about not doing any business because, again, the rest of it is not national security, but it’s very difficult to — to determine what’s coming in and what’s not coming in, it's still Huawei. So we'll be making a decision over that in not too distant future but it’s a little bit the opposite of what’ seemed to be reported this morning."
