The Washington Post on May 13, 2018 quoted US President Trump as tweeting “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!”

(Comment: The comment marks a dramatic shift in the stance of the President who has long accused China of stealing U.S. jobs — and could presage a reversal of one of the Trump administration’s toughest actions to date against a Chinese company.)
