(Stephen Morton/Bloomberg News)What—you didn’t know your Subaru was a national security threat? Trump also cited national security when he announced his steel and aluminum tariffs in March (“If you don’t have steel, you don’t have a country!”). Our intelligence community has repeatedly called it a national security threat, saying that ZTE devices could be used as surveillance tools against Americans. So how is it that Trump seems so unconcerned by the (real) national security risk posed by a Chinese firm that may be spying on us, and so much more worried about the (imagined) national security risk of cars made by our friends? This law offers relatively broad language about what “national security” means, however.
