The executive order uses the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to implement the ban, and it applauds the concept of “an open investment climate”, saying “openness must be balanced by the need to protect our country against critical national security threats”. The order gives the US Secretary of Commerce the power to decide what is a threat and doesn’t explicitly name any company as a risk, but after months of speculation and reporting, we can assume it’s meant to box in China-based Huawei, which the Trump Administration and some US lawmakers have claimed is a security risk....
