    U.S. Attorney General William Barr said America should take controlling stakes in Nokia and Ericsson to “blunt” Chinese firm Huawei’s “drive to domination.”

    “There have been some proposals that these concerns could be met by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and or Ericsson through American ownership of a controlling stake either directly or through a consortium of private American and allied companies,” Barr said.
    It would appear him using "or a consortium of private" actually means the US Government.

    I don't think he gets to do that as AG so this is just like when the secretary of the interior called for a naval blockade of Russia.

    Barr is a GHW Bush NWO fascist, and President Donnell is loving it. The whole administration is riddled with recycled bushbot neocons from two generations of Bush's. Will Jeb! & Pee Baby Bush be hired, in a Donnell second term?

    Stay tuned to Bushbot Apprentice to find out.

    Full blown socialism.

    Well Republican politicians are socialists even though they pretend not to be.

    The backlash didn't take long. In an interview on CNBC Friday, Vice President Mike Pence said "the best way forward" on 5G relies on private enterprise, not government takeovers. The Federal Communications Commission, which regulates the nation's airwaves, already plans to auction off additional radio spectrum for 5G.

    "That's the plan the president has endorsed," Pence said. Later on Friday, Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow also argued against the idea, telling reporters at the White House that “the U.S. government is not in the business of buying companies, whether they're domestic or foreign.”

    Trump has not tweeted about the proposal.
