Huawei is probably a security threat but that isn’t new nor relevant. My position is that this is a transparent attempt to gain leverage at the negotiating table.

The timing is certainly intentional and designed to improve the US's position on both trade and national security. There is more than one variable at play.
And I agree that the black list can go away after negotiations. But only if those negotiations ensure the US feels secure in its national security.

Trump has already publicly announced that he's willing to use Huawei as a bargaining chip. This isn't vague speculation. It's something the President of the United States is openly saying:

>The order, which will not name specific countries or companies, has been under consideration for more than a year but has repeatedly been delayed, the sources said, asking not to be named because the preparations remain confidential. It could be delayed again, they said.

Is it your position that Huawei is not a national security threat?
