Pelosi Statement on Trump Administration’s ZTE Deal

"The President's ZTE deal is a staggering betrayal of the American people.  Although Trump pledged to fight for hard-working Americans, he is now using U.S. government  resources to enrich a foreign company – right after the Chinese government reportedly agreed to funnel half a billion dollars into one of his family's resorts.

"It is also beyond comprehension that the President is helping out ZTE, a Chinese company that U.S. intelligence agencies have designated a national cybersecurity risk.  Further, ZTE has violated U.S. sanctions by selling technology to North Korea and Iran.

"The American people deserve better than a President who is eager to sell out the American people and our national security for his personal enrichment.  Democrats are offering A Better Deal, with Better Jobs, Better Wages and A Better future for all."
