Last month the Trump FCC announced a "ban" on all foreign made routers (almost all of them), demanding ambiguous favors from manufacturers if they wanted to continue doing business in the U.S.

I learned about the US implementing a ban on foreign-made routers and I wondered why woodworking equipment was the new front line in Trump's trade wars.
