ZTE, the second largest Chinese manufacturer of telecom network equipment in April had been barred from purchasing American components after Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross issued a denial order. The denial order came after the telecom giant pled guilty to violating United States Commerce laws when as @ The News Blender, that they:
purchased restricted parts, incorporated them into their smartphones, and then sold the smartphones with the restricted parts in Iran and North Korea, two state sponsors of terrorism.
After the guilty plea deal was reached between the United States and ZTE, ZTE was put on probation, it was discovered that during both the plea deal negotiations, and while under a seven year probationary period, ZTE had made false statements to the US Commerce department triggering the denial order.

Sadler called Meghan McCain and apologized, but the White House has not issued a public apology. White House spokesman Raj Shah, told reporters on Monday that the problem was being handling internally.
