Amid a deepening trade war with China, President Trump on Wednesday declared a “national emergency” to protect U.S. communications networks in a move that gives the federal government broad powers to bar American companies from doing business with certain foreign suppliers — including the Chinese firm Huawei.
Trump declared the emergency in the form of an executive order that says foreign adversaries are exploiting vulnerabilities in U.S. telecommunications technology and services. It points to economic and industrial espionage as areas of particular concern.
“The President has made it clear that this Administration will do what it takes to keep America safe and prosperous, and to protect America from foreign adversaries who are actively and increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in information and communications technology infrastructure and services in the United States,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

In my view Trump has surpassed Reagan.
We’d be in Gulags now if ti wasn’t for Trump.
Washington is the only President it can be reasonably argued was greater than Trump
I think the world of Reagan, but...different times.
The Halfrican did everything he could to destabilize our safety and security.
“Including scam phone calls/messages. Don’t we have enough scammers in the US not to import them from China? :(”
We get 3-4 per day.
One today was a serious talking female b$tch about our SS and how we needed to call a Texas # right now. SS does not make calls.
I’m 80, and my wife is close. We get about one call a week saying that our college loan is in default.To protect us, we need to call right now. None of our children had a college loan.
So we just ignore them.
Good tagline.
Please check mine.
It just showed up.
Your link is hot and up!
Boy, is your tagline spot on.
Spot on, Grampa Dave!
Thanks, We get good calls. We don’t answer calls from AC’s where we don’t have relatives/friends.
About a year ago, I started getting robocalls on my cell, and I went to NoMoreRobo for smartphones. That basically ended that bs.
My wife basically texts her friends and relatives, and I do the same.
For some reason most of my friends and relatives prefer to email. We joke that emailing is for old folks. That goes with our church groups. It is so easy to set up special email groups and to use them.
Our adult children and grandkids prefer to text.
We use texting to set up and firm up parties. Beats phoning when dealing with more than two families.
