- Title: U.S. foreign policy under Trump's administration in 2019.
- Date: 18th December 2019
- Summary: The United States on Monday (January 28) charged China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, its chief financial officer, and two affiliates with bank and wire fraud to violate sanctions against Iran in a case that has added to tensions with Beijing. In a 13-count indictment, the Justice Department said Huawei misled a global bank and U.S. authorities about its relationship with the subsidiaries, Skycom Tech and Huawei Device USA Inc., in order to conduct business in Iran. WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES (FILE - JANUARY 28, 2019) (REUTERS) FBI DIRECTOR, CHRISTOPHER WRAY, SPEAKING (SOUNDBITE) (English) FBI DIRECTOR, CHRISTOPHER WRAY, SAYING: "And these cases make clear that as a country we have to carefully consider the risks that companies like Huawei pose if we're going to allow them into our telecommunications infrastructure. Today's charges serve as a warning that the FBI does not and will not tolerate businesses that violate our laws, obstruct our justice, and jeopardise our national security." The U.S. government's indictments against Huawei Technologies Co Ltd are "unfair and immoral", a spokesman for China's industry and information technology ministry said on Tuesday (January 29). BEIJING, CHINA (FILE - JANUARY 29, 2019) (REUTERS) NEWS CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS (SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) DIRECTOR GENERAL OF CHINA'S MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, WEN KU, SAYING: "Just as the foreign ministry said, with no evidence, they're using their state power to discredit and attack designated companies. This sort of behaviour is unfair and immoral. As a department responsible for this industry, we consistently encourage China's companies to act in accordance with international rules and market principles and develop foreign economic cooperation on the basis of abiding by local laws."
