U.S. government staff told to treat Huawei as blacklisted

It's illegal for a government entity to just decide they don't like somebody without due process.

The carnival atmosphere in Washington is bad for everyone. The Tweeter-in-chief undermines his own authority by governing in the public square. It makes any counter-party position much stronger, as they can easily manipulate the emotions of the president, and the negotiators on the ground have very little leverage within the US camp. A random ad on TV may change strategy!

Where in the law is it required that the government must offer due process in relation to contractual business deals with corporations? Is 'due process' even the correct term for that type of thing? You seem to be conflating the government punishing someone for crimes without due process to convict that person of said crimes.

There are a wide variety of laws around procurement and finance that govern these actions.

The due process was Congress passing a law which allows an adjustable list to be made by the executive.
