The decision rejected longstanding US concerns about the Chinese tech giant. Trump was furious, according to the person, who said Trump berated Johnson over the move, which he characterized as a national security threat.

The Financial Times first reported on the phone call.

Officially, the US maintains a regretful tone about the decision, but the call reflects Trump’s more voracious private anger.
