Nope. A chronic situation doesn’t become an emergency just because we agree action should be taken. If that were the case, our national debt would qualify as one, and the Executive could sweep aside the Congress and impose a balanced budget.

That’s not how a republic works.

Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations that monitor or prohibit transactions that may help China develop technology to counter US national security capability

Yeah that’s exactly how republic works. He is following a law literally written around this concept. But you’re a Ukraine enthusiast, and an anti-Trumper. So you like anything that cuts him off at the knees.
