Was wondering why Mr. America First, kept tweeting about some Chinese company:
ZTE, the large Chinese phone company, buys a big percentage of individual parts from U.S. companies. This is also reflective of the larger trade deal we are negotiating with China and my personal relationship with President Xi.

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

Trump Orders Help For Chinese Phone-Maker After China Approves Money For Trump Project
Trump did not mention in that tweet or its follow-ups that on Thursday, the developer of a theme park resort outside of Jakarta had signed a deal to receive as much as $500 million in
Chinese government loans, as well as another $500 million from Chinese banks.
Trump’s family business, the Trump Organization, has a deal to license the Trump name to the resort, which includes a golf course and hotels.

Using the Presidency to enrich himself with deals like this and his friends/tax cuts.
Drain the Swamp he said.
A company btw:
"they are already justifying his comments about wanting to help that Chinese company that the US govt sanctioned due to fears that it's dealings put US national security at risk (technology transfers)."
but he wants to sanction our European allies if they continue to do business with Iran.

The company Trump tweeted about twice now.
"
Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced legislation on Wednesday to prevent the U.S. government from using products from certain Chinese telecommunications firms.
The impetus for Cotton and Rubio’s legislation is concern over the Chinese government using hypothetical backdoors in ZTE and Huawei phones to spy on U.S. government officials."
