White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow insisted Sunday that President Donald Trump won't back off national security concerns after agreeing to allow U.S. companies to sell some components to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. Kudlow told "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation" that Huawei will remain on an American blacklist as a potential security threat. He stressed that additional U.S. licensing "will be for what we call general merchandise, not national security sensitive," such as chips and software generally available around the world. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., described the Chinese company as a clear threat to U.S. national security. The Chinese company still has a patent portfolio it licenses to manufacturers and carriers.
