Trump Lifeline to China's ZTE Angers Republicans

BBC World Service - Newshour, Trump Lifeline to China's ZTE Angers Republicans

The firm had been sanctioned for selling technology to Iran and North Korea

The US Commerce Department has reached a deal with Chinese tech firm ZTE that will remove a ban that prevented the company from buying parts from US suppliers. The ban had been implemented after authorities concluded the company broke trading restrictions by selling to countries like Iran and North Korea. Republican Rep. David Young of Iowa explains why so many of his colleagues oppose the decision.

Also in the programme: the Red Cross pulls dozens of workers out of Yemen; and Nasa's Curiosity Rover uncovers organic molecules on Mars.
