New developments in U.S.-China trade tensions.

The United States is now targeting Huawei, the second largest smartphone producer in the world.  Last week, the Trump Administration added Huawei to a list that bans it from getting technology from US companies without approval. And, Google announced it is limiting the software services it provides to Huawei, including much of the Android operating system for mobile phones. But, late Monday, the  U.S. Department of Commerce announced it is easing up.
