Senate blocks ZTE deal in rebuke of Trump deal
WASHINGTON — In a major rebuke to President Donald Trump, the Senate has
adopted a measure that would block the administration's deal with
Chinese telecom giant ZTE, pitting the president against Congress on what
many senators say is an issue of national security.
The Senate's move comes less than a week after the administration struck
an agreement with ZTE that would have kept the telecom company engaged in
the U.S. market.
The president’s deal with ZTE would have forced the company to pay a $1
billion penalty, reorganize its company and allow U.S. compliance officers
in exchange for being able to sell its products inside the U.S.
But the bipartisan senate amendment, which has been added to the must-pass
National Defense Authorization Act, would essentially kill that agreement by
retroactively reinstating financial penalties and continuing the
prohibition on ZTE's ability to sell to the U.S. government.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who is one of the co-sponsors of the measure, said
that the amendment would likely put ZTE out of business.
“ZTE said they couldn’t remain in business, or at least not remain
anything other than a cell phone hand-held business, if the denial order
from March was in effect. And this would essential put the denial order back
into effect,” Cotton told reporters.
The telecom company is considered by the intelligence community to be a
mechanism for espionage by, in part, selling phones in the U.S. that can be
tracked and enabled to steal intellectual property.
The U.S. slapped sanctions on ZTE in 2016, prohibiting the company from
doing business in the U.S. for seven years, when it violated U.S. sanctions
against Iran and North Korea. The Commerce Department placed additional
sanctions on the company after it failed to follow through with its
reorganization plan and lied to the U.S. government about it.
A bipartisan group of senators praised the amendment, saying it protects the
U.S.’s national security.
“The fact that a bipartisan group of senators came together this quickly is
a testament to how bad the Trump administration's ZTE deal is and how
we will not shy away from holding the president's feet to the fire when
it comes to keeping his promise to be tough on China,” Senate Democratic
Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.
The amendment was added just as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was on
Capitol Hill briefing senators about a component of the president’s ZTE
deal. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, left the meeting saying he was supportive
of the Senate’s effort.
The NDAA still has to pass the Senate and the House of Representatives must
still agree to the defense bill with the measure included before it can
advance. The president would then face a choice: Veto a critical defense
bill to save the ZTE deal or allow the administration's deal to collapse
. Sen. Cotton said the president won’t veto the bill “because the bill
pertains many other critical priorities.” | c****3
