Trump Turns Down Proposals Restricting U.S From Selling Jet Parts to China

U.S President Donald Trump has turned down proposals that would prevent United States from selling jet engines among other jet parts to China. Trump further said he instructed his administration to refrain from implementing such proposals.

According to the proposals, national security concern was the main issue for U.S to cease supplying jet parts to China, however president Trump said this reason should not be used to make it hard for other countries to purchase products produced by the U.S.

During the past weekend several media houses including Reuters, Bloomberg, and Yahoo Finance among others had published reports indicating that Trump’s administration was contemplating issuing directives to General Electric Co (GE) to immediately cease supplying China with jet engines.

“We’re not going to be sacrificing our companies by using a fake term of national security. It’s got to be real national security. And I think people were getting carried away with it,” said President Trump.

The President extended this debate to Twitter where he said the U.S has and will always support its aviation industry to do business with China.

“I want China to buy our jet engines, the best in the World. I want to make it EASY to do business with the United States, not difficult. Everyone in my Administration is being so instructed, with no excuses,” posted President Trump on Twitter.

Such developments arise from the issue with Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies which Trump’s administrations has since placed strict restrictions citing national security issues after the company was accused of spying for Beijing via its equipment.

Well, President Trump said his tough stand on Huawei should not be used to victimize others.

“So, national security is very important. I’ve been very tough on Huawei, but that doesn’t mean we have to be tough on everybody that does something,” said President Trump. “I want our companies to be allowed to do business. I mean, things are put on my desk that has nothing to do with national security, including with chip-makers and various others. So we’re going to give it up, and what will happen? They’ll make those chips in a different country or they’ll make them in China or someplace else,” added the President.
